But the CLI resides in COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE which are applications
that run in the actual OS. What you call version or application
compatibility issues is at the heart of the problem since any program
that you run from the CLI is actually a command. Shells are written for
a particular OS which you cannot really separate them from, simply
because they call OS-specific functions. How could you tell whether it
is a restriction of the OS or the shell that keeps a command from
working properly if you cannot make the shell itself work in another OS?
