4DOS is a replacement *shell*. It replaces COMMAND.COM. And it can be run on
top of COMMAND.COM or vice-versa. They are also *very* good about correcting
incompatabilities. As an example, some of us create zero-length "flag" files
by going:

REM>{filename}

4DOS didn't have that "bug". But when we pointed it out, they added it in.
