Please let me give credit where credit is due: my usage is definitely

: MS-DOG: The operating system with more "byte"

Actually, I look at it in this way. When Bill Gates introduced DOS 2.0,
he borrowed from UNIX -- but not enough <grin>.

What dj and team are doing might be called finishing the job, or at

Anyway, the MSDOG thing does add an invigorating "byte" to the new emacs
documentation <grin>.
