Editing COMMAND.COM (section)

== Description ==
COMMAND.COM's successor on [[OS/2]] and [[Windows NT]] systems is [[cmd.exe]], although COMMAND.COM is available in [[virtual DOS machine]]s on [[IA-32]] versions of those operating systems as well. The {{Mono|COMMAND.COM}} filename was also used by {{ill|Disk Control Program|de|vertical-align=sup}} (DCP), an MS-DOS derivative by the former East German [[VEB Robotron]].<ref name="DCP_2016" />

COMMAND.COM is a DOS program. Programs launched from COMMAND.COM are DOS programs that use the [[DOS API]] to communicate with the disk operating system. The compatible command processor under [[FreeDOS]] is sometimes also called [[FreeCom]].
