********

Many people believe DOS to be an antiquated,
useless operating system with few features and
capabilities. This is clearly wrong. Such persons are
usually not aware of the full capabilities of even older
versions of DOS, nor of the newer utilities and upgrades
that have now become available since they last used DOS.

    They do not realise that the limiting factor was not DOS in most cases; it was the computer's hardware that was not up to the job due to the lack of processor speed, inadequate memory, a slow video card, and so on. Few too, are aware of the power of the latest DOS versions and the newest applications and utilities obtainable. Nor are they aware of the potency of the most up-to-date batch language.

Presented below are forty-one DOS fallacies and their answers.
Understand that not everything here may apply
to your manufacturer or version of DOS.
