IBM would like you to think so.  It would be interesting to know if
there's a new operating system in the 'complete' 5.0 package, or if
it's 3.?? re-released.  It would appear that the 'upgrade' is not much
more than a user shell and command.com replacement, with a few extra
goodies to flesh out a few disks.
