IMHO 3.3 is superior in most ways to 4.xx. I find it cleaner, takes
far less memory (especially if you use DOSSHELL) and works far better
with bizarre or buggy software. I would stick with 3.3 or wait for
5.0 to be released. Another alternative is to buy DR.DOS 5.0, it has
gotten excellent reviews (I haven't used it myself) and helped prompt
MicroSoft to get on the stick with DOS 5.0.
