Two weeks ago at Novell, Provo, in the bowels of Network Operating
System Land, I heard this development manager say, "...Well, that
crash you just saw happend because DR-DOS messes up some of these
apps".  Every flavor of every OS has some incompatability with
something.  No one product (even wonderful DR-DOS) works for everyone
all the time. Compression is scarier for most people because a
compression crash sometimes means all data is lost.
