> So how were these found? Example usage for some of them could be discovered by going through the contents of .BAT files written by Microsoft, especially those that were a part of MS-DOS (and later Windows 9x) Setup (installer). All the built-in commands appeared in plain text in COMMAND.COM, as did all the CONFIG.SYS parameters in IO.SYS. As far as I know there wasn't a UN*X-like strings(1) utility at the time but binary files could still be browsed with third-party tools. |
