To these, I think we should add CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, but perhaps
these are relics, since I don't know the version of DOS Parallels is
using. In any case, these two, plus COMMAND.COM, linger in my memory as
the "old school" DOS core. Lisa, I will see what is in the DOS directory
for my version of Virtual PC and contribute that.
