In this thread was a post from: chin, chung, gieszczykiewicz, kartassos and 
suomalainen. 

Aren't there any real people left using DOS? :) People like Brown and Smith?

Anyway, folks all the niceties you're looking for in MS DOS 5.0 as vaporware 
are available now in DR DOS 5.0. It's real nice and seems to work everything 
I've tried on it.  Also, take a look at the current copy of PC Magazine for a 
nice review of the product and discussion about this thread.
