I used 4DOS for awhile, then stopped using it.  Reason: I run
DOG (the Disk OrGanizer - that defragments hard disks which has been
another recent thread here.).   Issue was that DOG is guided by the
FAT to do its work, and 4DOS seemingly reads the directory once. When
DOG is finished,  DIR lists a really screwy directory, with file sizes
in the 15 billion byte range, and so on.  Since keeping my disk clean
and organized is of more importance to me than the 4DOS shell, I
tossed out 4DOS.
