Even simple (?) directory listing programs have to be modified to run...

Could someone who has extensive hands-on experience on DOS 4.00 summarize the
changes made in it re version 3.30 ?

I have been told that the changes are NOT limited to breaking the 32M partition
limit, but that they also break lots of software that definitely does not go to
the disk drive direct... were all these changes necessary, or is this a case of
changes-just-for-the-heck-of-it ?  (Motto: if it ain't broken, don't fix it)
