As far as I can tell, they are *identical* except for the
DOS-version check and the version messages.  If anything,
I'd say the DOS 6.0 FDISK is slightly preferable -- only
because you can run it under DR DOS without having to use
SETVER!

I don't have a copy handy, but I suspect it's pretty much
the same as DOS 5 and 6.x.  The DOS 7.1 FDISK (Win95 SR2)
is different, though; it supports the new FAT32 format.
