Now the question is: With all the "loadhi" feature in DOS 5.0 enabled, will it be able to run Windows in enhanced mode ? If it can, then, I think it has something which DR DOS 5.0 hasn't. Otherwise, you are right .... in that case, either DOS 5.0 is not too hot. Regards, . .. ... .- -> -->## Life is fast enough as it is ........ Peter Lim. ## ....
