MS-DOS 7.10, which I use since 1999, is by far the best DOS available (I tested them all, believe me), and I'm afraid there will never be a better DOS. Even if "cm" thinks perhaps that I'm wrong.

EDIT: Those people (how many left?) who try to make "the things work" don't sacrifice their lives on any altar, they have no other things to do with their spare time. Better would have been if they would have consumed their time in other areas of interest - re: DOS.
