   Does lying count? DOS version one had DOS calls that were
called unimplemented or some such in the books and classes
that software writers paid for, yet M$ used them to their
advantage for faster screen writes in their programs.
   Only companies that developed assemblers, compilers
or tools that ran under M$ DOS V1.0 discovered what all
of the unimplemented DOS calls actually did, and benefited
from them as M$ did. That is the reason there are NO M$
products in my house.
