or text-based interface, that allows the user to type commands. It is called CUI –

- Introduction of DOS:  DOS uses a command line, or command driven, or text-based interface,
that allows the user to type commands.

 It is called CUI – character user interface. DOS was available in two


versions that were essentially the same, but marketed under two different
sp

names.

o

"PC-DOS" : the version developed by IBM and sold to the IBM-


t.c

compatible manufacturers.
 "MS-DOS" : the version that Microsoft bought the rights to, and was
om

bundled with the first versions of Windows.


 The earliest versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system were
/p

really just applications that ran on top of the MS-DOS operating system.
MS-DOS is a disk-based, single-user, single-task and character based
/co

user interface (CUI) operating system.


 Modern versions of Windows (Windows 95 and greater) no longer run
pa

on top of DOS, but have DOS-like user interface called the "MS-DOS
Prompt" or "Command Prompt".

 The command prompt allows Windows users to issue DOS commands to


the system.

 For Windows users many tasks that can be performed in the Windows
l

graphical environment can be performed very quickly and efficiently by


using DOS commands.
 Most bootable media will boot the system directly to a DOS
environment.
 Many firmware loading programs on PCs require a DOS environment to
function. Like bootable USB stick which loads DOS.

Pradip directory, which is a subdirectory of the Users directory.
