7. Microsoft Disk Operating was originally developed in 1980 for
personal computers using 8086/8088 family of processor
chip(CPU).The need of users ,the requirement of application
programs and hardware capabilities have all changed since the first
release of MS DOS .In order to maintain DOS as a viable operating
system, new operating system, new releases are made periodically.
Major versions are signified by the number before the decimal point
(eg.401).Minor changes are signified by increasing the number after
decimal point. For the most part ,these minor changes are not
noticeable .The DOS programs are considered obsolete the moment
to a new release is announced ,sales of the old version are
discontinued and users are offered an upgraded version. This is not
necessarily true with system programs like DOS.However earlier
releases are often sold and supported for some time after the new
version is introduced. This is because the earlier version still has all
the capabilities required by some users and new versions are always
downward compatible.

8. A command in simple terms is the name of a program that we want the
computer to carry out.
Some of the elementary DOS commands are follows-
RESIDENT/INTERNAL COMMANDS
DATE
TIME
DIR/DIRECTORY
CLS
VOL/VOLUME
VER/VERSION
REN/RENAME

DEL/DELETE
