Not sure if I understand the final part of your statement... would you agree,
or not, that within a few years (or possibly right now) we'd also have to
include the earliest versions of Windows (and other early GUI shells) that were
still just DOS underneath?
This is exactly why I'm not opposed to DOS being discussed on the list. It
comes from the days of the traditions I speak of above, before 90% of the
cpu and memory was dedicated to a pretty gui.
