in reply to IPC::Run on WindowsXP/Windows Server 2003?

Did older windows OS's have a command shell named 'command'?

Yes - command.com. It exists on my Windows 2000 and XP boxes (in the same folder as cmd.exe), but I don't see it on my Vista box.

Cheers,
Rob

    I have command.com on my 32-bit XP box and 32-bit Win2k3 box. But it is not available on 64-bit Win2k3. I don't have a 64-bit XP to check, but I would guess it's not there.
