Any ideas why ? Hm, I'd think of reasons of size just to fit a bootable DR-WebSpyder plus all the needed parts of the networking stack & modem dialer on a single 1,4 Mb floppy... (AFAIK, the demo contains the DR-DOS 6.0 EMM386.SYS and OpenDOS 7.01 kernel files - the old COMMAND.COM did not support long filenames and its help text was not improved.)
