- Assuming, of course that you intend to help Microsoft's cash flow by
- upgrading to MS-DOS 6.0 when all it seems to offer (from what I hear)
- is MS-DOS 5.0 with some extra utilities like drive compression that I
- already have. I think I'll wait for MS-DOS 7.0 before I upgrade
- (assuming I'm still bothering to run DOS).
