Neither 1.09 go32 nor 1.12 go32 (or anything in between) work with
these binaries (under DOS 6). Still puzzled...

I haven't tested command.com but batch file piping *does* work fine
under 4dos. Aliases work also, of course. One has to decide what one
considers more important, DOS memory or disk space. The aliases take a
few K of memory, the batch files occupy one 512 byte sector each (on a
compressed drive, otherwise they take a whole cluster).
