Greeting:
	Is it true that you can not run window386 version 2.? in
with dos4.0. In the manual it said msdos3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.  It did
not say any thing about dos3.3 and higher.
	I was running win86.com instead of win386.exe simply because
in my dos4.0, win386.exe simply doesn't work and it says unsupported
dos version, right!!!  However, running win86.com, you cannot run
any bat, exe, com or any foreign applications.
	Do I have to boot up with a drive with a dos3.3?  However,
in the IBM dos3.3, if you boot up in a drive, because of the c drvie
partition way installed in dos4.0, it will not recognize a c drive.
Is it true that the msdos and compaq dos will allowed you to do so.

PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE ANSWER THE QUESTION FAST.

IT WILL BE NICE IF MICROSOFT PEOPLE CAN HELP OUT.
