With DOS 3.3 I had a bunch of logical drives (up to drive k: or l: as I recall, all but the last were 32 Megabytes) all JOINed to c: with DOS's command of that name and that was fine. Except there is a LOT of software (PCTools, file-man- agers, add-on DOS shells) that can't handle JOINed drives. Seems every time I looked at another (neato-keen) program it broke if it had to deal with my JOINed-drives-as-subdirectories scheme. Other than that I'd RATHER use 3.3. I never did get around to pounding the D.R. (as in Digital Research) DOS around enough to determine its 3.3<->4.0 capability and compatibility. Maybe I should load it up on a drive and play with it for a while. (D.R. DOS supports >32 megabyte partitions but in all other respects (?) is equivalent or slightly extended from DOS3.3.) kEITHe
