You should clarify. Technically, Linux, OS/2, and Win32 are DOS's. "Disk
Operating System". {smile}

DOS is the lowest common denominator. Problem with your 32-bit OS? Boot
a DOS floppy to fix it.

DOS has been around in the PC world for a long time, and there'll likely
be remenants of it long into the future.
