Well, 4dos is more versatile than command.com and has a *smaller* footprint in conventional RAM as long as you have extended or expanded RAM available. Heck, on my old XT clone with an AboveBoard in it, I had something like 630k available for running programs! More if I ran the utility that let me use the graphics RAM on the VGA card as main memory. -- Leonard Erickson (aka shadow) shadow at krypton dot rain dot com
