Yes, plus the shell.

Moreover. An important part of an operating system is its multitasking (when it is present). It's implemented in EMM386 in DR-DOS. So EMM386 can be considered a part of its kernel. As EMM386 has its source code locked behind 7 locks by DRDOS Inc, it isn't enhanced. Therefore EDR-DOS doesn't even include the whole kernel.
