Lest I forgot, a happy new year to all ! And, Jim, a correction, as you seem to be confused here. Mutitasking DOS was "European MSDOS 4", a different codebase by unrelated teams than regular MS-DOS versions. It was not released but almost confidentially by a couple of OEMs, and it has had no progeniture. MS-DOS 4.01 (a quick fix for the horribly buggy MS-DOS 4.0, which "randomly" trashed the hard disk FATs) was the regular successor to long lived MS-DOS 3.x versions.
