Windows would have done this a long time ago too, if Microsoft hadn't 
have split with IBM over the OS/2 issue.  BTW- kudos to IBM for OS/2 Warp 
and a great operating system, but I find that I'll be going with Win '95 
(at least this time around the OS game), they are finally getting it 
right and the vendor support issues far outweigh 'technical reasons' to 
go with OS/2.

To handle the problem of DOS games with Windows '95, I have my regular
multi-boot config.sys and a C:\WIN.BAT file that checks the configuration
that was chosen at start-up.  If it's any configuration but the Windows
one, to drops me to DOS (Yes, Win '95 runs on TOP of DOS - still!!).  I 
then have full access to all the DOS I could ever want (makes you want to 
puke!!). I have not found any compatibility problems with this DOS and 
any of the games I've run under it (PAW, FD, AW, Privateer, SC, AF, etc), 
so far. 

I still use QEMM 6.02 (last version not riddled with bugs!!) and Smartdrv 
caching (works great for me), they seem to work great too.
