I just replied to article <5531@stiatl.UUCP>, in which david@stiatl.UUCP 
(David Montgomery) wrote a number of interesting things.  I neglected, however,
to comment (and ask another question!) on something else:

First off, David, you may be interested to hear that the sources to MyDOS 4.51
(and the assembler capable of assembling said MyDOS sources) were recently post-
ed to this very newsgroup.  If you missed it, you might want to have someone
send it to you again.

Second, and this is a general question: I'm concerned about the "BUILD" program
that was supplied with the MyDOS sources.  I notice that it runs "under your
current version of MyDOS," and just REPLACES the existing DOS "in memory" and
poof, you're in the new version.  My question is, will this work under all prior
versions of MyDOS, or am I going to be in trouble if I don't have a "relatively
recent" version?  I think I have (gulp) something like 1.0 !  I know things can
change pretty drastically between major revisions, so I would like to have the
answer to this question BEFORE I try to install 4.51.  Thanks in advance.

Chris
