From reading the book which deals with OS/2 (I think it's called
"Inside OS/2" oddly enough, but my copy is at home so I'm not sure) by
Gordon Letwin, Microsoft chief operating systems architect, DOS 4.0 was
a version which was sold to OEMs for the purpose of developing
specialized packages for selling to a customer.  OS/2 is DOS v5.0.
The impression I got was that DOS 4.0 was not for sale to the general
public.
