   Since:

   - 4DOS is a command shell replacement replacement for command.com that 
     is superior in size (when not at the command prompt), online help,
     Un*x-style wildcard expansion, aliases, and in providing a complete 
     and sane selection of commands (move, tee, inkey, pushd, popd, etc) ...

   - QEMM-386 provides superior EMS/XMS/Loadhi and directly supports
     Desqview for true multitasking ...

   I have one question:  Why did you upgrade to DOS 5.0?  What do you gain
   over DOS 3.3 (I refuse to consider DOS 4.x as an intermediate version ;-})?
