Primarily DR 7.01 w/FAT32 native. But I also have FREEDOS.

I have relatively current Win suites from Corel and M$. However, my
word processor of choice is WordPerfect 6.2b for DOS. Even the Fax
function works under OS/2. But, IMHO, all DOS apps work better under
real DOS. I have current versions of Quicken and QuickBooks, but my
accounts payable is Money Counts 8, DOS. I find chasing numbers and
letters around the screen with a mouse to be very inefficient.
