No. That's because the DOS port doesn't call command.com at all. It has its own implementation of a shell as part of the `system' function in the standard library it links against. That implementation supports pipes, redirection, quoting, long (up to 16KB) command lines, and a few other minor Posix features, like /dev/null.
I see. Just out of curiosity, why can't this shell implementation be used for Windows?
Do we want to execute the batch file only in case of cmd.exe or for both command.com and cmd.exe?Yes, for the benefit of Windows 9X.
Sounds good. Thanks.
