Depends... "DOS", to me, is just short for "Disk Operating
System"... I've source code (in a book) for K2FDOS, source code for
LS-DOS 6, and have used the AmigaDOS component of AmigaOS (granted --
AmigaDOS technically was the part of the OS that gave access to the I/O
system, and included the command line interpreter...).
"DOS" does not automatically mean "MicroSoft DOS"...
I have less experience with "MS-DOS" than I have with LS-DOS and
AmigaDOS.
What most call "DOS" is, to me, merely a "command line interpreter"
(CLI).
