Let us face it:  MS DOS is a joke!  A big joke and an insult to every one
who ever used a PC!
This is quite sad since DOS programs that run in DOS run much faster than
in windows.  And DOS
programs run faster than their windows counterparts.  Specially when it
comes to graphics and sound.
If OpenDOS is a multitasking environment this by itself is worth the
trouble.
