I just installed DR DOS 5.0 which appears to be the same as MS DOS 5.0,
including the problem of LOADHI not working with 4dos.  However, there
is an alternative to LOADHI, HIINSTALL which is a CONFIG.SYS command
(presumably this is in MS DOS; I don't know).

One other DR DOS 5.0/4DOS problem is that if I type "ver", 4dos tells me
that I'm running DOS 3.3.  If I type "command/c ver" to get DR DOS to
tell me, it says "Incorrect DOS Version".
