Problem with so-called "DOS drivers" is that there is no such thing. There
will have to be Freelance drivers, AutoCAD drivers (which I bet have almost
as much priority as Windows drivers), Harvard Graphics drivers, Drawperfect
drivers, Lotus drivers, Freelance drivers, Visicalc drivers, AsEasyAs dri-
vers, Paradox drivers, CyrillicSharewareFromHell drivers, RBase drivers, 
PC-File drivers - 

you get the idea...
