No, I'm not running 3.11. I don't see why we're even discussing this in a
Mac newsgroup, but here is the last and final reply on this subject that
will come from me. If you want to prove to me that windows 95 doesn't run
on top of dos, delete your MSDOS.SYS and MSDOS.--- files. (These files are
hidden, I wonder why? maybe because Microsoft wants you guys to think you
aren't running on top of dos?) Now, if you do this and your computer still
starts up, then I'll rethink my position, but I know it won't because I
tried it a couple days ago. Lucky for me I put them on disk.  Have fun,
and prove to yourself that windows 95 DOES run on top of DOS. I don't see
why this is such a difficult concept to grasp, considering the files you
just deleted are MSDOS files, and your windows won't start up. Gee, I
wonder if windows runs on top of DOS? I guess so :-)
