But, I actually have found now that the Loadlin option not only is more convenient for Win-95, but actually makes more sense on a PC. The only problem is that Loadlin has some memory limitations. But, if you use the Menu-config.sys thing with DOS, then booting bare with the Loadlin option works great.
