    Sudo ported to DOS

    DOS didn't have sudo yet. This gross oversight has been addressed.

    SUDO examines the environment for the COMSPEC variable to find the default command interpreter, falling back to C:\COMMAND.COM if not set. The interpreter is then executed in unprotected real mode for full privileges.
    ↫ SUDO for DOS' Codeberg page

    A vital tool, for sure.

        "If a file SUDOERS.SYS is present in the root directory of the boot drive, it is ignored." 🤔
