DR DOS is an operating system written by Digital Research as a compatible replacement for MS DOS. It came out a few months before MS DOS 5.0. It has many of the same features as MS-DOS 5.0. In fact, PC Magazine reported that some of the features of MS-DOS 5.0 were added in response to those features being included in DR DOS 5.0. While DR DOS has many similar features to MS DOS, and is designed to emulate MS DOS, it was written from scratch by a completely different team of programmers and has many internal differences from MS DOS. -- Matthew Seitz Note new address: seitz@netcom.com
