- Depends whose MS-DOS Perl you are using. Len's and Tom's port does explain
- MS-DOS extensions. My book on Command Languages -- Command Language
- Cookbook
- by VNR (92) lists these extensions as well as those for the Amiga, Atari,
- OS/2, Macintosh. I thank all the software authors who were kind enough to
- allow me to use their material in the book.
