Hi folks,
Discussing the future of DOS it might be interesting to hear
some of the industry voices. As an example here´s a post from
JP Software´s support group. (For those who don´t know it already,
they produce advanced high-quality command processor replacements
for DOS, Windows, and OS/2. Link: http://www.jpsoft.com)
