It wasn't a question of coffers, the msdos was sitting unused, came
with the box I'm linuxing on. And it was largely prompted by the 9 meg in
the pcdos dir. I don't use much of that, in fact, I've been trying out 4dos
lately, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick to that anyway..

I did use stacker on my 720, but I'm avoiding it for now..

I remember reading about that, do you use it? I kinda like the
idea, at least of compressing unused files. I keep most of my windows help
files compressed, and when I need to look something up I launch them from
pctools.
All things considered, I would hate to see an ibm vs ms fight on
this list, too :) I use ms windows, but bought a copy of os/2 because I
want to support it..
