Is ASCII text also known as DOS text?

ASCII text and DOS text are not the same, although they are related. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that represents text in computers using numerical values. DOS text typically refers to text files created or used in DOS (Disk Operating System), which often employs ASCII encoding but may also include specific line-ending conventions (like carriage return and line feed) unique to DOS systems. Thus, while DOS text often consists of ASCII characters, they are not interchangeable terms.
