 Not them, really:
   About 4DOS24H2
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   4DOS24H2.COM is a critical error handler to replace the one
   build into the otherwise excellent 4DOS command interpreter.
   The critical error handler is the piece of code displaying
   the notorious "Abort, Retry, Ignore" message when you have
   forgotten to put a disk in the disk drive.  Due to the nice
   behaviour of 4DOS it is possible to replace this piece of
   code with an external handler.
 4DOS.COM, the COMMAND.COM replacement, is written by Rex Conn
 and sold by JP Software, while 4DOS24H2.COM is a separate
 freeware program written by Niels Jensen.

 BTW, I actually tested it, and the "Another copy running" test
 doesn't actually work in 6.6c for me, altho it does with 6.6b.
