MS-DOS / PC DOS and some related disk operating systems use the files mentioned here. System Files: [1] IO.SYS (or IBMBIO.COM): This contains the system initialization code and builtin device drivers; MSDOS.SYS (or IBMDOS.COM): This contains the DOS kernel. Command-line interpreter (Shell): COMMAND.COM: This is the command interpreter.
In DOS, CONFIG.SYS is located in the root directory of the drive from which the system was booted. The filename is also used by Disk Control Program (DCP), an MS-DOS derivative by the former East-German VEB Robotron. [1] Some versions of DOS will probe for alternative filenames taking precedence over the default CONFIG.SYS filename if they exist:
MS-DOS itself primarily relied on just one configuration file, CONFIG.SYS. This was a plain text file with simple key–value pairs (e.g. DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS) until MS-DOS 6, which introduced an INI-file style format.
Android phones, like this Nexus S running Replicant, allow installation of apps from the Play Store, F-Droid store or directly via APK files. This is a list of notable applications (apps) that run on the Android platform which meet guidelines for free software and open-source software.

MSDOS.SYS is a system file in MS-DOS and Windows 9x operating systems. In versions of MS-DOS from 1.1x through 6.22, the file comprises the MS-DOS kernel and is responsible for file access and program management. MSDOS.SYS is loaded by the DOS BIOS IO.SYS as part of the boot procedure. [1] In some OEM versions of MS-DOS, the file is named MSDOS ...
IO.SYS must be the first file stored in the FAT directory table for files. [5] [6] The files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS must be contiguous. [5] [6] However, MS-DOS version 3.3 allows sector 4 and higher to be fragmented; version 5.0 allows the first 3 sectors of IO.SYS to be allocated anywhere (as long as they are contiguous).

In MS-DOS, the file named MSDOS.SYS is used to copy the system files from one drive to another, allowing the second drive to be bootable. MSDOS.SYS is located in the root directory of the bootable drive/partition (normally C:\ for hard disks) and has the hidden, read-only, and system file attributes set.
