This is the first time I see the words "Design" and "spec" in conjunction with
MooSe-DOS... I doubt if MooSe-DOS was ever designed. Furthermore I'm not sure
if you mean undocumented or documented specs.

Hmmm, I just wonder why there is all this UMB stuff in MooSe-DOS 5.

In fact, MooSe-DOS does not claim to do ANYTHING, like almost any program. So
that's not a reason why we can't expect to have '90s power in the '90s.
