Don't hold me to this one, but I believe DOS and Win95 became inseparable under OSR2, not the original Win95. It was what the customers wanted! (even though the customers couldn't buy OSR2, unless they were the OEMs Microsoft is so famous for listening too). I saw something about this recently, but my refs went with the disk. Re the Caldera suit, coming to trial soon in a courtroom (relatively) near you, I think the ref said that there was an arbitrary check inserted in Windows 3.1 that disabled it (Windows 3.1) in the presence of DR-DOS, or something other than MS-DOS, it had worked ok before that.

Cheers, Dan.
