The reason I suggested FreeDOS was because the root comment was essentially a laundry list of bugs in MS-DOS. If there's a readily-available MS-DOS that does the job and doesn't have (material) bugs then sure by all means use that, but then what are we even talking about here?

These bugs in ver 3.3 are lingering from when very many individuals could not yet afford a HDD.

I am? The article mentions MS-DOS 3.3 which is about 7 years older
