The latest BYTE (a 30 minute's read) reports in their OS/2 column that MS-DOS
really isn't an operating system, but in fact just a program loader. Imagine
that. How's that for up-to-date, on the spot reporting. Has it really taken
them 6 years to figure this out, or is it just that now there's something more
expensive available to replace MS-DOS?

Last I heard, OS/2 only supported file systems less than 32meg (because it used the Mess-DOS 3.x file system), whereas Mess-DOS v4.0 can handle your average 40meg drive now. :-) -- James R.
