FreeDOS in a VM and lots of docs online.

>>61005142
why would you learn an operating system that has been obsolete since like before I was born?

>>61005343
windows still has a doslike shell

Yea and win10 uses a VM to run dos programs, right, so it's not a doslike shell whatever that means, at least for win10 it's not. If I remember correctly WinME was the last windows to use dos.

clearly this thing has borrowed more from dos than unix

Why would you want to use windows for anything other than video games? The command prompt in windows is shit compared to a bash shell.

So growing up on windows 95 is possible for over 18s now anon, sorry to disappoint.

>>61005142
DOS shell aged like milk and Powershell isn't much better. Many things that you take for granted using Bash shell will be impossible or so ridiculous by comparison you'll just use the GUI instead.
