Then 4.0 allowed bigger partitions but was so buggy it is best forgotten. Then Digital Research came out with DRDOS 5.0 that had some new nifty features like on-the-fly compression, partitions to 8 gigs, multitasking, etc. Almost immediately after, MS released MSDOS 5.0 with nearly identical features, but they later ended up buying the Stac Electronics company to make the lawsuits over stealing the compression code go away. --- Les Mikesell <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
