	I was speaking with the developer of 4DOS last night at a BCS meeting 
and he said that he expected to spend a LOT!! of time in the next few months
telling people over and over that $DOS IS, repeate IS, fully compatible with
MS-DOS V5.

	Based on that, I would say that it definitely is. There are a few
improvements that he is planning to make that will take better advantage of
some of the internal DOS 5 features, but I didn't get into a discussion of 
particulars. Note - that's better advantage - not just make it work. It works
just fine already.
