Eh? What's so wonderful about DOS 7? My budget for DOS upgrades went
to zero years ago. Is there a single feature in DOS 7 I should be
willing to spend money on?

:For Windows 95... NO problem whatsoever.  Again... run in MS-DOS MODE
:if you have 4 megs of ram.

You mean -- close all my files; exit my apps; unload Win9x; then
run the game? Tedious. I'm too impatient to go through all that work.

OS/2 lets you run games in full-screen DOS sessions without closing
files and apps. Concurrent access. Multi-tasking.
