-[quotes me claiming 5 or 15 buffers for DOS before/after v3.1]

-DOS 2.x defaults to 2 buffers, 3.0 through 3.21 default to 2 on a PC or XT
-and 3 on an AT, 3.3+ default varies with available memory. 

Hmmm, well, okay... but Zenith's release of v3.21 adjusts the default
depending on memory -- the doc. says so, and sure enough I get 15 with no
effort on my part.  Perhaps this is another PC-DOS / MS-DOS difference.
