I moved up to DR-DOS 6.0 from MS-DOS 3.2 and mis-spoke. Not
having used MS-DOS 5.0 (nor 4DOS) I'm not in a position to
comment on which DOS is "better". But then basing my short
comment on MS 3.2 while the thread dealt with MS 5.0 wasn't very
slic either.
But DR-DOS and Desqview for multi-tasking is very stable. And my
copy of OS/2 2.0 is still on the shelf. I have Norton U and will
look into NDOS.
