That's interesting... the latest (Feb?) issue of Antic says it is, has a
review of it, and gives an address to write to.  Costs $10, and I expect
to order it tonight.  It is called DOS XE, but I think it works with
XL's as well.  Not 400/800 - it makes extensive use of RAM under the ROM;
there is no DUP.SYS to swap in and out.  Has subdirectories, and supports
the XF551 (the new floppy), which is my major interest.
