Given DR seem to be a nicer bunch of people over MS with user
support and almost everything else (no suprises there) - 
is there any reason they can not take the lead from MS and
get round this damn 640k limitation.  I don't need a GUI
or the ability to do 70 character file names - I just need to
memory to enable TCP-NFS networking etc.  If DR did this then that would
really kick Microsoft in the teeth - given MS  
are only putting out MS DOS 6 to catch up to DRDOS 6.

If something doesn't happen soon -
it looks like I may have to go through the trial of fire to get
OS2 installed on my work PC so I can finally make proper use of
the 20 Meg of RAM I have on this thing!!
