4DOS sounds like a good replacement for COMMAND.COM for single user systems. Can anyone even think of why one would want to use it with DESQview, since DESQview handles memory completely and the advantage of 4DOS may not be recognized? iNDRA | indra@amdcad.AMD.COM (Indra Singhal) (408) 749-5445 | {ames decwrl apple pyramid sun uunet}!amdcad!indra | MS 167; Box 3453; Sunnyvale, CA 94088

I suppose there would be other advantages though... Although 4DOS does take more memory away from Desqview than 3.3 DOS, its still less than dos 4.0. Jeff Bakke bakke@plains.NoDak.edu
