DOS 3.3

Wasn't MS-DOS 3.3 the first retail edition of MS-DOS, not 4.0? Rayrayemu (talk)

Article cleanup

I would really like to revamp the whole MS-DOS section to separate MS-DOS and PC-DOS and include Third-Party DOSes as well. What does everyone think? Rayrayemu (talk) 07:27, 21 May 2023 (CEST)

I would like to lay down every I would to do with a complete overhaul of DOS. First of all, the version history of MS-DOS and PC-DOS are intertwined, overlapping and over muddled. So, I would like to make separate MS-DOS and PC-DOS article with mostly version information and a brief history plus OEM information for early MS-DOS. Then I would like to create an article entitled DOS (PC Compatible) which covers a more in-depth history plus some information on some of the commands that aren't used as much with the NT CMD command processor such as prompt and edlin. Then, I would like to cover the legacy of DOS. Lastly, I would like to make a category called DOS under operating systems which would not only cover PC compatible DOS but also DOSes such as ProDOS, DOS-11, TRSDOS, and Commodore DOS. In my opinion, DOS, not just the those derived from 86-DOS are possibly the most important operating systems for 3rd and 4th generation computers and should get as much coverage as possible.
