mdash;Generally speaking, standard command-line utilities have a presumption of notability.  At some point in history people noticed there was a problem that wasn't getting solved well enough with existing techniques, several attempts were usually made at a solution, a solution becomes standardized, and as the world moves on the solution can become obsolete.  That story is what ought to be reflected in the article, and for recent, well-documented operating systems like MS-DOS,  is not all that difficult to find.  The story here is pretty straightforward:  MSDOS introduced subdirectories without thinking through how they would be used, people complained about the problem until competing products started implementing solutions, Microsoft took notice and eventually (MSDOS 6!) added their own solution, and it got dropped as part of the transition away from MSDOS-based operating systems.  I didn't know any of that 30 minutes ago, btw.  I need to track down a few older cites and I'll then set about rewriting the article
