- As an additional point in favor of DRDOS 6.0 is the built-in ability to do
- alternative system configurations at boot time, also the CHAIN statement
- permits the CONFIG.SYS file to divert to any other file to continue
- configuration. And batch files are much closer to being a true language
- with the support of subroutines and other goodies.
- On the other hand, for some reason, I find it much easier to setup a MSDOS
- 5.0 emergency boot floppy. Also, for some reason DRDOS 6.0 insists that my
- B: drive is a 1.2meg 5.25 rather than the 720K 3.5 that it is. I have to
- use DRIVPARM to correct its impression of my system (I need to talk with
- DRI one of these days...)
