No, I'm calling it "command line" because it runs on and takes input from the command line.


I don't know what "runs on the command line" means, but as for taking filename arguments... so does Microsoft Word.


Well, it runs on the terminal. But not on the command line. These are different concepts.


By that logic, Windows up until 98 was also a command line application. Doesn't really add up.


Windows Me also used a DOS bootloader, but it was more discrete than it's predecessors.
