I've seen around.  The embedded guys like it.  Also seen it in some
maintenance stuff for HD's to repair flakey bios's since Windows can't
handle it directly.  Someone has to take care of Bill's laziness.

That was the last one I looked at.  I prefer Linux myself.  Working on a
maintenance bootable CD using Pascal's ttylinux as the base.  I've been
using his ttylinux for all sorts of bootable media, including compactlash
disks.  Beats DR-DOS all to heck without breaking a sweat.  Networking too.
 Trouble with DR-DOS is often it doesn't have newer network chips available
to it so it makes it tough to boot up to a network from a small disk.  No
problem for ttylinux with and up to date kernel though.

 JB> I thought I might miss 4dos, but no.

I only missed qedit when I abandoned DOS.  Last one I had going was PC-DOS
on a 486-33DX.  That particular machine was the first one to go Linux,
although it was a dual boot first.  Tried dosemu on there as well, just for
qedit, then totally abandoned that as well once I was reminded why I
preferred UNIX.  I never looked back after that.

Life is good,
Maurice
