How to get the file for an external MS-DOS command

Because each version of MS-DOS and Windows is different, many of the external commands are not compatible. Therefore, to use a specific external command, you'll need to find a third-party utility that provides the functionality for you.

Many individuals and companies have created MS-DOS commands capable of performing new functions. Additionally, there are some programs capable of accomplishing tasks that are not normally possible with any MS-DOS commands. Perform a search on any popular search engine for "command line," "download," or "windows" and a brief description of what you are looking to do. For example, searching "windows command line edit files download" would find Windows command line editors.
