SvarCOM is the SvarDOS command line interpreter, known usually under the name

"COMMAND.COM". It is designed and maintained by Mateusz Viste, and distributed

For the time being, it is an incomplete, "work in progress" project. The goal
10
is to make SvarCOM the default SvarDOS shell, replacing FreeCOM.

Since SvarCOM is a work-in-progress effort, it still lacks a few things:
360 mateuszvis 16

- no support for redirections or pipes (eg. file.exe | more > out.txt)
18
- no batch file support
19
- few internal commands missing: BREAK, CHCP, CLS, CTTY, LH, REN, COPY, DATE,
