I have reliable inside information stating that DOS 17.0 will break
the 1MB barrier and DOS 23.0 will add preemptive multitasking.
The bugs and incompatibilities these features will spawn will be
cleared by the time we reach release 34.52d

The bottom line:
If you want an operating system which will:
- Address more than 1MB
- Multitask
- Run your old DOS software
- Have those goodies you allways wanted and DOS lacked
Use OS/2 or Win/NT or any other OS capable of the above
and forget about DOS.  What do you care about a name as long as the
features are right?


Arivederci,
  Alex.
