My guess is because the author said so. On the net. Several times. I use them both, they both work. I use CrossDOS on a 2000 with lots of hard disk, and MSH on a 1000 with no hard disk but a RAM disk. The reason I use CrossDOS on the 2000 is because I paid $15. for it and it works. The reason I use MessyDOS on the 1000 is because I messed up execute or xicon or iconx or something and the CrossDOS install won't work without it. I have not found any other important difference between the two. Definitely no reason to change from CrossDOS to MessyDOS >John M.
