Windows 95 and 98 are built on top of a DOS base (called DOS 7) but there is
no 'DOS' directory containing fun things like QBASIC.EXE and HELP.COM. Some
of the stuff from here moved to C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND while QBASIC.EXE and
HELP.COM (along with their associated help files) can be found on the
Windows CD in \OTHER\OLDMSDOS

Windows NT and 2000 do DOS emulation only afaik, and QBASIC does not come
with either.

I think everyone should have perl installed, myself :)

One humped, fat camel. Inspired by the O'Reilly Camel book although the fact
that it is a camel is where the similarity ends.

Kind Regards,
