Talk:Dir (DOS command)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed the statement "In Unix, dir is a symbolic link to or an alias for the ls command.", although it may well be a symbolic link or shell alias, there is no requirement or standard that dictates that. There is no mention whatsoever of a `dir` utitlity in the single unix specification, and there is no dir symlink or alias in the profile of some systems I have checked, including NetBSD and HP-UX. The GNU ls package includes a `dir` command, but this is a hardlink to gnu ls, which behaves differently when called as dir. -- taviso 15:51, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) shouldn't the title of the page be DIR (all caps) ?

[edit] explanation section

Much of the explanation section looks like it was copied directly from Windows XP help. It is correct only for Windows NT, not MS-DOS.
