how i can use command.com from msdos

[ghost128k]

i have a program that run well under vdos, but when it try to show a list of archives, i get a error "file not found command.com"

i see that if i type "dir command.com" appears "c:\command.com "with 16384 bytes, but the real command.com has 50648 bytes.

also i try to copy the real command.com in de vdos directory, but dont work.

My question is if possible to tell vdos that use the real file command.com inteast of the "fake", because i presume that the old dos program is try to use a command that not is implemented in the fake one.
Many thanks in advance.

As of version 2021.05.01 the presented file size of command.com is 12345 bytes.
First update vDos to the latest 2023.05.01 version, and see if the problem is then solved.

Command.com doesn’t actually exist, some programs test however for its presence.
Those are tricked, but I expect your program uses a test method that isn’t yet trapped in your vDos version.
