This brings up a question I was going to ask about anyhow ... Is there
any problem using djgpp with 4DOS?  What about memory requirements?  Is
4DOS a good drop-in replacement for COMMAND.COM (It wouldn't take much...)
What about compatibility with existing DOS batch files?  Programs that
spawn a shell?  Anything else...

Thanks
