Articles in PC-Week and other weekly magazines are speaking about the next
version of MS/PC-DOS that U.S. markets will see: 5.0.  It will allow users
to finally break the 640k barrier.  Do any of you netters know any of the 
specifics of how current (808x) software will run in 5.0?  One article
mentioned a 640k area which will emulate (in software).  Any speculation,
rumors or guesses as to what this means for the current software now
written for the 8088?  And what the impact will be on the PCs installed
which presumably will NOT be able to run 5.0?
