nonsense.... 15 years is MORE than enough time for dos to have become 
something more than a program loader (can you say os/2?) the reason is 
that there has never been any real competition to good ol' dos so there 
was subsequently no reason for them to change it...... the increasing 
popularity of dr.dos (now knows as novell dos) promppted microsoft to 
bloat their dos equally, with all sorts of idiotic  disk compression 
utilities and things.... now microsoft sees some REAL competition 
_starting_ to appear (os/2, taligent(vaporware), mabye some unix(who 
knows?) so they have been forced to get off their butts and slap together 
windoze nt and chicago. oh, and to your point about ms wanting dos to look 
like unix, that's ridiculous... microsoft wants everything they sell to be 
easy to use for the moron market (did any of you see the mouse tutorial in 
windoze 3.1? sheeeeeeesh) and unix ain't exactly known for being 
luser-friendly....

oh well, i seem to have drifted off topic here... ln -s /dev/null
