It exists, and the BETAversion is out since Oct. or Nov 90.
Two nice features : 1. It loads most of its kernel into the memory
			between the adapters (you've got about 600-
			620 K free memory)
		    2. Help : every commands now has a included help 
			text.
There are some other features (e.g. DosShell with some(!) multitasking)
, but you'll see !!
