   You're right in this, but didn't read carefully enough: he didn't write   
   MSDOS but only DOS. There was indeed a DOS 7.01 - Caldera DOS 7.01.   
      
   Another thing: the reboot could be caused by the dpmimanager from BP.   
   On PCs with more than 64 MB RAM this can occur. One must set a   
   evnvironment variable-
