This article presents a list of commands used by MS-DOS compatible operating systems, especially as used on IBM PC compatibles. Many unrelated disk operating systems use the DOS acronym and are not part of the scope of this list. In MS-DOS, many standard system commands are provided for common tasks such as listing files on a disk or moving ...
Oric Extended Basic (Oric 8-bit family) [10] QBasic (PC DOS/MS-DOS on IBM PC and compatibles) QuickBASIC (PC MS-DOS on IBM PC and compatibles) QB64 – a free clone of QBasic; Small Basic (MS Windows on IBM PC and compatibles) T-BASIC (Toshiba Pasopia) and T-BASIC7 (Toshiba Pasopia 7) TRS-80 Level II BASIC (Tandy/Radio-Shack TRS-80)
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.

For example, the AT&T and Tandy versions of DOS include a special GW-BASIC that supports their enhanced sound and graphics capabilities. The initial version of GW-BASIC is the one included with Compaq DOS 1.13, released with the Compaq Portable in 1983, and was analogous to IBM BASICA 1.10.
Cassette BASIC loaded when a PC or PCjr was booted without a bootable disk or cartridge. Disk BASIC and Advanced BASIC load when their command name (BASIC and BASICA respectively) is typed at a DOS command prompt (except on a PCjr, which activates Cartridge BASIC instead), with some optional parameters to control allocation of memory. When ...
Further, it will copy the principal DOS system files, that is, the DOS-BIOS (IO.SYS or IBMBIO.COM) and the DOS kernel (MSDOS.SYS or IBMDOS.COM) into the root directory of the target. Due to restrictions in the implementation of the boot loaders in the boot sector and DOS' IO system, these two files must reside in the first two directory entries ...
