Oh no, not again :-).  Ok, I'll bite.  Another case of 4DOS vs MsDos
for alt.religion.computers :-) :-).  Why even use 4DOS and a PC when
one can use a Sun mainframe :-).  Why even use a computer.  There is
no end to this tack. 

Seriously, because the majority of the PC users are using MsDos.  As
you might recall we already had a ____prolonged____ discussion (a
good one at that) on this subject last spring in this very
newsgroup. 

I have changed the subject line.  I hope that the original task does
not now get swamped under a this recurring circle from the fans of
4DOS, DR-DOS, etc.  (They are great OSes or shells or whatever one
prefers to call them.  But we are now considering a MsDos task). 

   All the best, Timo
