A somewhat scatterbrained chap, it seems!

Fascinating. TVVM. I've added a link to my Wikipedia Multiuser DOS 
article, pending a rewrite with the extra info. Shame he doesn't cite 
dates or anything, though.

Suggestions or contributions to the WP article are hereby solicited!

Many thanks for the clarification. One can see one reason how & why DR 
went under with this profusion of confusing and in many cases 
incompatible products, combined with their reluctance to incorporate new 
ideas from the competition, as more recent OS success stories - Windows, 
Mac OS X, Linux - show.
