It has enhanced syntax which allows you to redirect stderr (or put stderr into stdout): myprog 2>my.err >my.out myprog 2>&1 >allout.txt It also has dozens of other extensions which make it easier to use, but may not be 100% compatible with the way command.com behaved. I personally strongly prefer CMD.EXE and haven't had any problems using it with DJGPP. command.com is present primarily for compatibility reasons (truncated path and environment, programs that open it by name).
