"A hack" I suppose, but pretty impressive, the blokes who assembled
this DOS (Wengier and Roy) really know their stuff. Id use it myself
but what do I need with LFNs, they'd break most of the things I have,
which would take an age to find replacements for. 

They also have a win311 bootup floppy and a mini Win98.

They call themselves "China Dos union".

Theyve even updated the online dos help to include Win98dos additions.

Of course as Ben says, it violates copyright throughout. Im sure
most right thinking people will feel a great sympathy for poor
Microsoft.  

Bye now,
