I'm subscribed to the digest version of the opendos list, and a "reply"
for me doesn't default to the sender or the opendos list but
listserv AT delorie DOT com.  Strange.

2. Loading stuff in config.sys

From what others have said a while ago, there are oddities in the
half-ready situation DOS (Open- or otherwise) finds itself in during
the config.sys stage, but (as Paul pointed out) it would be nice if we
could load such things as NWCDEX at this time (for me especially
because I use the fact that only OpenDOS executes DCONFIG.SYS).


3. What files reference NETWORK.DRV?

Notice that the nice OpenDOS FIND command can take wildcards, so you
can do something like FIND NETWORK *.INI and that sort of thing.
