DOS ain't dead

MS-DOS 4.00 sources fixed (Announce)

I restored the SELECT files to exactly match the release found at "Microsoft MS-DOS 4.00 (10-6-1988) (5.25-360k).7z" from https://archive.org/details/ms-dos-4.00-and-4.01

The identicalise work is done on a branch of my hg repo: https://hg.pushbx.org/ecm/msdos4/shortlog/identicalise (On the default branch I started adding new features.)

The following files are only found in the archive.org images:

~/test/20240430/400/content$ ls
AUTOEXEC.BAT  GWBASIC.EXE  PCIBMDRV.MOS  SHELLC.EXE  SHELL.MEU
CONFIG.SYS    HIMEM.SYS    README.TXT    SHELL.CLR
DOSUTIL.MEU   LINK.EXE     SHELLB.COM    SHELL.HLP

(The link.exe here is not an exact match for the one in the src/tools directory of the free software release.)

The file xmaem.sys is only found in the free software release.

Later today the first current build will be available at https://pushbx.org/ecm/download/msdos4.zip
