| There was "4DOS" ... but I haven't heard much about it recently. It was
a shareware DOS replacement. There should be at least one 4DOS note
in this notesfile.
Digging further back into ancient history ... there was PCVMS, a
DOS-replacement that had some VMS-like features. I think it was just
a COMMAND.COM replacement, which means it loaded itself on top of your
basic DOS rather than completely replacing it. I think this (or maybe
I'm thinking of yet another one?) was free to DECcies, long ago.
For those interested in history, there's a PCVMS notesfile on KAOFS::.

| 4DOS wasn't an operating system -- it was an alternative CLI.

| Yeah, I was trying to remember which replaced just COMMAND.COM, which ran
as a program on top of COMMAND.COM, etc. You're right.
