Or, I suppose, MS-DOS's command.com. So comcom.com is just
something for passing command line input to the 'real', built-in,
command interpreter? Does this mean that when 'alternative'
interpreters are used, the 'built-in' command interpreting code is
completely bypassed? BTW where would a new user (only having, say,
a 1.1.4.0 source package) find his/her comcom.com?
