On the other hand, the solution to perhaps half the msdos problems seems
to be replacement of command.com by 4dos.  The solution to half the
remaining half is replacement of msdos by drdos.  After that you need
something like os2v2.  So it's not hard to replace msdos, but solving
its problems takes 3 programs.
