This is untrue if you have WIN95 installed. You can use Win95's MS-DOS
mode. It is the same (functionaly) as DOS 6.2x. In the case where you have
WIN95 installed DOS 6 is totaly unnesissary. If you think otherwise, you need
more info on Win95 & DOS. Period.

If you have Win95 installed, old DOS is not needed. But if you "think"
this is not true, good for you. Of course there is no wat someone can 
make you believe this. But that is unimportant :-)
