Microsoft DOS
DOS primarily relies on two files called CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. These were retained up to Windows 98SE, but were not strictly required to run Windows applications.

Famous quotes containing the word dos:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
