I have nailed the network location (URL) of the latest Microsoft version of the Platform SDK .cab file containing Win95Cmd.exe. This might be interest to Charles, and to those stuck on Win9x who found, as I did, that although WAY better than nothing, that cmd.exe was pretty crash-prone, buggy. Maybe a later version would be better, is my thinking. The Platform SDK in question is the so-called "Whistler beta," Oct 2000 release. ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/platformsdk/oct2000/psdk-x86.49.cab The same .cab file also contains many other executables such as CabArc.exe, the MS .cab file extraction tool.
