It's a bridge interface which is needed when you run Windows 3.0 under DOS 5. If you are not running this combination (or not running Windows) then there is no reason to keep the file around. It was needed because of changes in the interface between DOS and Windows. See section 4.3 of the README file which comes with MS-DOS 5. Joe Morris / MITRE
