Well, Stephen, I've been running DOS 4.00 since july of last year without any
problems.  When I bought windows 3.0, it installed like a charm and I have not
had any problems with windows trashing my hard drive.

My suggestion is to wait on your upgrade for version 5.0 though, because I have
heard that it will solve the non-reentrancy problems in DOS as well as many
others.

Hope I have been of some help...

ciao
jeff
