This article is to help newbies that are familiar with MS-Dos to understand commands that Microsoft barrowed from Unix.
So, if you know your Dos commands, this will give you a idea on command that you can run in unix to perform the same task that you would be in under Dos. If you need further information on this, do : man command for example:
man chmod
this would give you all the documentation that you would need to understand
and use chmod.
MS-Dos to Unix cross over information :
ATTRIB - chmod
BACKUP - cpio, tar
CALL - exec
CD - cd
CHDIR - cd
CLS - clear
COPY - cp
DATE - date
DEL - rm
DELTREE - rm -r

DOSKEY - history
ECHO - echo
EDIT - vi

MORE - more
MOVE - mv
MSBACKUP - cpio, tar
PATH - setenv PATH
PROMPT - PS1
RENAME - move
RESTORE - cpio, tar
