What is the basic difference between BASH and DOS?
The key differences between the BASH and DOS console lie in 3 areas :

* BASH commands are case sensitive while DOS commands are not;

* Under BASH, / character is a directory separator and \ acts as an escape character. Under DOS, / serves as a command argument delimiter and \ is the directory separator

* DOS follows a convention in naming files, which is 8 character file name followed by a dot and 3 characters for the extension. BASH follows no such convention.
