stitched dos commands

7 October 2005

stitcheddos.jpga hand-stitched version of the 'tracert' DOS command, which is normally used to trace the specific network points that join one computer with another computer on the Internet network. the electronic tracert journey is determined by IP addresses of destinations, & how many milliseconds it takes to reach them. for those appreciating the art of data visualization stitching, see also lorenz manifold or other clothing-based examples.

How wonderful!
The 21st century equivalent of the 18th century's "Home Sweet Home"

Ug.. tracert was never a DOS command. DOS never really had a TCPIP stack. Windows had one but it was horrible.

Tracert really hit the world in Windows 95 if I remember correctly. Windows NT also had tracert.

At the core though tracert was just a rip off of the glorious UNIX traceroute command since windows was lame enough to only support 8.3 filenames.
