    Yes, went there and read that and while it wasn't said so, it seems to
be for sure that once Drdos no longer is useful for their current clients
that it will be either sold off or hopefully freed-up.  What then though, is
theres a army of programmers to undertake Drdos and will it be something like
the Freedos?
    If so then, why not just Freedos now and how does it compare to Drdos?
Is the multi-tasking the real difference between Drdos and Freedos or is
there truly some other memory management advantages to the Drdos #703?
    Also, how about the IBM Pc-dos?  Where does it compare?  Since it seems
to be still alive is it well?  Or does that also have a limited shelf life?
    Perhaps someone having used all three can give an objective
prospective?
         Mark
