I tested Compaq DOS 3.31 and found it to be the best choice of today's
DOS versions. It has real 4.0 big partitions (>32MB) without the 4.0
overhead (always having SHARE loaded). The partitions are fully
compatible with DOS 4.0 and SMARTDRV (at least 2.10 and above) works
well with them. Also, Compaq DOS 3.31 needs less memory than 4.0 (about
12k). If you do not need the DOS shell (who needs it ? :-), it is the
best choice.
