Actually, much better, if you consider OS/2's "Lie List". This functionality
"lies" to a running DOS program if it has to run on a specific version of
DOS. OS/2's Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) is more adaptable than plain
DOS. This goes for Win3x, too. After all, Windows is nothing more than
an elephant on a pig's back.
