Well, decent MS-DOS kernels plus command interpreters also have LBA, FAT32  
and DOSLFN support. (But you're right regarding utilities, the FreeDOS  
ones are often better.)

Is it? I'm still waiting for one of us both to apply the latest patches  
regarding SFTs, file seeks and self-owning PSP termination to the DOS-C  
SVN. Well, anyway: Granted, that's an advantage.

So (if you have to) just buy a used version from someone.

I don't "use" MS-DOS to actually use it, but to debug it and therefore  
increase the compatibility of FreeDOS, or EDR-DOS, or RxDOS.
