In DOS 5.0, MIRROR.COM, FORMAT.EXE, and UNDELETE.EXE are licensed
from PCTOOLS and should probably supercede the PCTOOLS 6.0 ones and use
the DOS ones instead.  (Me too would like to know about PCTOOLS 7.0).

The same goes for RAMDRIVE.SYS, SMARTDRV.SYS, and HIMEM.SYS which supercede
the equivalent ones in Windows 3.0.
