- I have reliable inside information stating that DOS 17.0 will break
- the 1MB barrier and DOS 23.0 will add preemptive multitasking.
- The bugs and incompatibilities these features will spawn will be
- cleared by the time we reach release 34.52d
-
- The bottom line:
- If you want an operating system which will:
- - Address more than 1MB
- - Multitask
- - Run your old DOS software
- - Have those goodies you allways wanted and DOS lacked
- Use OS/2 or Win/NT or any other OS capable of the above
- and forget about DOS. What do you care about a name as long as the
- features are right?
