J. P. Software has been beta-testing DOS 5.0 for months.  According to
Tom Rawson there, last I spoke with him, there were no major conflicts.
This was some months ago, though.

Don't know, and am also interested.  Anyone out there tested 4DOS with
Dr. DOS 5.0?

There is another version of 4DOS due out in a couple of months.  I don't
think it's particularly geared to DOS 5.0, but it stands to reason it would
probably work with it.
