Nope. IBMDOS.COM should be kept as small as possible, and how do you imagine
adding up new file systems? Recompile IBMDOS.COM every time!?

Wipe the tears from your eyes, wipe the sweat from your thighs
Don't cry to me with sentiment, my laughter drowns your cries
You're a memory trapped on polaroid, a puppet drawn on celluloid
So drink the wine, confess your sin, just floatsam in a silent mind!
