I use dos quite a bit under win98 in the office, as I absolutely refuse to
subscribe to the gheory of win only.  I have not experienced the problems
you mention here.  All the problems I have had are directly related to
hardware, all of which compaq have fixes out for.  I have yt to implement
the one that'll fix the battery problem (it's a laptop) and won't turn on
sometimes until I remove and reinstall the battery, but that's nothing to
do with dos.  I spend probably half my time at the dos prompt, and only
switch to windows when I need to run the sapgui or lotus notes or
something equally bulky to conform with the hefty standards they have
imposed on us for sofware usage.
