I suspect (working from the 98 SE box right now) that there isn't one
anywhere. Because when I open a kmd prompt and type assoc /?, I get a
whole slew of options. In short, assoc appears to be an INTERNAL
command of cmd.exe. Just as there is no dir.exe on any Windows--or
DOS, for that matter--machine, because DIR is an internal command of
command.com and cmd.exe.
So try that: open and cmd prompt and type assoc /? What happens?
