Well, I use both and the big advantage is that when I work in a dos shell
system, I can still use aliases and the command line advantages of 
4DOS.  I suppose there would be other advantages though...

Although 4DOS does take more memory away from Desqview than 3.3 DOS, its
still less than dos 4.0.
