No it's not.  Actually, 4DOS only takes .3K of conventional memory in my 386
using QEMM.  The rest lives in expanded memory.

A new version was posted recently - 3.03.  I don't remember all the file
names, but I think they're in PD1:<MSDOS.4DOS> on SIMTEL20 as:

	4DOS303P.ZIP	programs
	4DOS303D.ZIP	documentation

I just loaded the update to version 3.02a, so I didn't need the whole kit,
and thus don't quite remember the names.  You might try looking through the
last week's worth of articles in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d.
