    Just thought you might like to know, I was (that is WAS) running
DR-DOS for a while. I went to use Norton 4.5 the other day (screwed up
showing my wife something a blew away a whole directory of data files), 
and the main recovery part (NU) would only allow me in with Maintanance
Mode ON, which means you can only look, NOT recover. And then later I
ran POP-DOS (Logitech's pop-up menu driven DOS assistant) and whenever
I would format a disk, it would end with a DOS ERROR and either lock my
system up or when I'd switch to the drive I was formatting in, it would
give me the C: directory for a listing on B: (nothing was on B:, just
formatted). So I switched back to MS-DOS 4.01 and everything worked
again. I also found out that I can boot-up in MS-DOS and then use the
EDITOR program from DR-DOS, other DR-DOS commands may work under MS, but
I haven't had time to try yet...........seeeee ya'..
