You are WRONG.  In Win 95, there most certainly IS an MSDOS.SYS.  Take a 
look, it's there.  However, it's NOT what you expect.  It is there for 
programs that expect to see one.  It's just a text file.  And as for your 
DOS 7 and Win 3.1 comment, it most certainly does.  I have a couple of 
batch files, called 95.bat and 31.bat.  If I want to go into Win 3.1, I 
boot to the command prompt only mode, and type 31, hit enter, and I get 
old Windoze.  If I want Windows 95 after I'm done with 3.1, I just exit 
Windows, type 95 and hit enter.  All the batch files do is change some 
paths around..
