<p>I have always wanted all of this information in ONE place. Which
options? versions? Was that
<a href="VERSIONS/MSWIN/NT400.HTM">Windows NT4</a>?
<a href="VERSIONS/MSWIN/95.HTM">95</a>?
<a href="VERSIONS/MSWIN/NT2K.HTM">2K</a>?
<a href="VERSIONS/MSDOS/330.HTM">DOS3.3</a>? However, I
was forever jumping from site-to-site or file-to-file.</p>
<p>I wanted:
<ol>
<li>Simple HTML (no tables) <DL>/<DT>/<DD> and <PRE></li>
<li>A single file per command, containing ALL its versions and which
options where added with which version.</li>
<li>Hyperlink all command parameters and options.</li>
<li>Both syntax-only and descriptive lists, so I have both.</li>
<li>Additional examples (thanks Benny).</li>
<li>Equivalent BASH commands (thanks Simon).</li>
<li>Small (less than 50Kb) HTML pages (ONLY 9 of the files exceed this!)</li>
<li>And Later: Searchable, so I built a Compiled HtmlHelp (.CHM) version.</li>
</ol>
<p>Microsoft has tried to made it easy to know some of the
commands... I want to thank Microsoft, IBM and the people (some of
which are referenced below) that have tried to keep up with the MANY
flavors of the commands and operating systems.</p>
<p>YOU CANNOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITHOUT THOSE THAT CAME
BEFORE. <b>THANK YOU! THANK YOU!</b>
