Well, disk compression sucks whatever the platform, and task-switching
without the facility to see both programs at the same time, and
preferably at least semi-true multitasking, so both run at the same
time, is only half a solution. Besides, the only reason to use DOS
today, is either for games compatability, in which case PCDOS sucks
because it sin't compatible, or low hardware requirements, in which
case it's almost always better to use MSDOS without all the nifty
features.
