IIRC, command.com was a relic of Win9x running on top of DOS and was a

I know my 79-year-old memory is definitely subject to "senior moments" and not too reliable, but
IIRC it was Windows prior to 9x (Win 3 and earlier) that were 16 bit and ran on top of DOS.
Win95 was the first 32 bit version and was independent from DOS.
