Yeh, W2K has both cmd.exe and command.com. Odd thing is that command.com
displays my typing REALLY REALLY slowly.
As far as 'Millenium'. I can't imagine there not being a DOS box. But then
again, I've also heard that it might not ever come out.
Lastly, bash has been ported to windoze already by the Cygnus folks... even
better tho (for NT at least), is 4NT (JPSoft).

Don't know for sure. The problem to me, is finding out whether there
will _be_ a `Millennium' (based on 95/98 `technology'), and in that
case, if there will be a `Windows 2000' (based on NT) as _well_...
I've heard that Windows 2000 will have both COMMAND.COM and a CMD.EXE,
though.
Anybody care to port bash to Windows? (Oh well, it has probably been
done already...)
