This webinar will show the difference between the command line interfaces of MS-DOS, Linux and Apple. We will show how you can have tools work together and how to create a custom directory listing command which adds file format information to its output. Similar results can be achieved in MS-DOS, Linux and Apple, there is no need to install anything.
