I installed OpenDOS along with 6.22 using System Commander.  I had a drive
with 6.22, and put SC on it.  I then told SC to boot from drive A:,
containing OpenDOS disk #1, from which I did the complete OpenDOS install.
I then rebooted, and SC recognized that a new OS was present.  Everything is
nicely segregated, and there's no cross talk between the two DOSs.  Had you
booted from SC specifying the A: drive (as suggested in the SC manual), this
would have issued warning to SC not to permit over-writing of any system files.
