	That's not quite correct. MS-DOS 7.00 was W95 and
	maybe W95A too. However, W95B _is_ MS-DOS 7.10
	(so is W98, of course).    [FWIW]

	Yes, that's what I suspect. However, I have installed 2.0a4
	on a Toshiba 320CDS and so far, it has been OK. Actually,
	I installed 2.0a4 on both laptops at the same time, however
	only the 440CDT seemed to be problematic.
