I can't remember the last time "dropping DOS support" came up, but it seems
like a very long time ago! Is "real DOS" (not real-mode DOS :o) still really
something that needs to be supported? I understand that DOS as a filesystem
format needs to be supported, but since Micros~1 added the ~ thingie in file
names, "DOS" (e.g., pre-NTFS Windows) could support long filenames.
Does anyone still use an old version of PKZIP that won't support filenames
longer than 8.3?
Does anyone still run DOS the OS? (Meaning real, actual DOS -- like 5.0, etc.)
