come out.

Because Microsoft Came out with 4.0 to match DR-DOS. It was supposed to
have all the features of DR-DOS, but it didn't. It was also released
late. There was a battle between the two for features, plus some other
interesting things, like code being added to the Windows beta to detect if
it was being run on DR-DOS and exit with an error message, and DR-DOS
adding code to fool Windows...
