In response to comments made by c37189h@saha.hut.fi:

DOS 5.0 is basically everything that DOS4.01 was supposed to be.

I do not have it yet, but on a friends machine, the free memory available
was 632k!!!

On top of all the updated utilities, and fixed bugs, the new DOSSHELL 
includes a TASK switcher.  It cannot yet multitask, but it still is quite
an improvement over the useless old shell.

Couple that with QEMM386 on a nice 386 system, and you are talking memory
city.!!!
