By whom?

DOSBox is an emulator for dos.

In XP it is called "Command Prompt".

Well played, jaclaz. For me DOSBox is the MS-DOS Prompt even on 9x Systems.

Actually, that has been a real annoyance for me. Its been called a "dos box" for awhile.

Makes sense to me. it is DOS in a "Virtual" Environment.

It makes perfect sense. And it makes sense that DosBox would name their project that. But it is still a pain :(

On 9x it is actually a "dos box".

On XP it is NOT DOS, it is a command prompt which uses the cmd.exe command processor of a NT system (which is NOT DOS) which is largely (but not entirely) capable of running DOS programs.

That is the whole point.

If you prefer, there is NO DOS (or MS-DOS) on a NT system.
