Subject: DOS 5.0 soon?

I've been hearing that DOS 5.0 is coming out soon.  Does anyone know when?
And what features does it (or will it) give us?  Can it be used by the older
IBM PCs and ATs, or is it just for PS/2 (and/or EISA) computers?

The only thing that I've heard is that many of the DOS internal commands are
now external executables.  Also, that the DOS can manage more than 640kb.
Is this true or was someone pulling my leg?

Thanks.
