speed. drdos 7 boots to the file manager in 22 seconds. waiting for
Loadlin to boot and then figure out that I want drdos seems like it

As you see, this is from Arachne, which lacks many of the features
I got used to with BBS emailers like qwkmail d/l w/ {COMMO}, otherwise,
I'd register it.  It also lacks SST, so when I want to make an online
order, I fire up Linux/Netscape... which aint that often.
