Hello Neeraj,
BASH (Bourne Again SHell) is an implementation of the Bourne Shell. A
shell is program that allows the user to interact with the hardware. If
a user can type a command that makes sense eg. ls for a listing of
files, and expect the computer which only understands 1's and 0's to
understand the command then that is b'coz of the shell. This is the main
significance of the shell. It takes input which you type or from a
script file, and then executes thesse instructions. How it does this is
beyond me.
DOSKEY is only a feature of DOS that allows you to make some fancy
settings with the prompt, remember commands that you typed, and create
aliases. It is a lot of fun at first, but that is all it will ever be.
Just some shrills and whistles. BASH is much much more powerfull, and
once you work on it for a while, a lot more fun to work with. There
really is no way you could compare BASH with DOSKEY.
Warm Regards,
mario
