I played with a bunch of UNIX-like shells for PC/MS-DOS about 18 months
ago.  I think I even tried the one DDJ is advertising now.  They all
worked as advertised.  However, all of them interacted with at least
one major program I wanted to use.  Most TSR programs tend to have problems
with at least one other application....todd
