DOS usage in Windows 7

[lora]

Hello,

I have some code that uses DOS comands such as exec, ipconfig, ping,
and start batch files and runs fine on winxp.

I need to make that code run on Windows 7. Are there equivalent
command calls on Windows 7, especially to start up batch files and
have the window stay up?

Pls advise. thanks

That said, and without having a win7 installation at hand: the above
commands were unknown in DOS, but introduced with the NT command
processor cmd.exe. Is there still a cmd.exe in win7 ? (try the search
under the start button). If there is, your batch should run okay.

Yes, Windows 7 does still include CMD.EXE, along with the (ghastly)
PowerShell.
