Two both of the previous posters, and to anyone else who adds his experience
to this thread, please mention who's DOS you are using.  MicroSoft, IBM,
Compaq and several other OEMs each make thier OWN version of MS-DOS.  I
know for a fact that IBM and Compaq make enchancements to the MS version,
and no doubt some other OEMs do as well.  If you simply state blindly
that DOS has a problem it seems to imply ALL versions and that is simply
not true.  Compaq DOS 3.31 (Compaq does not have a 3.30) and 4.01 do
not have the 'crashing' problem you mention.
