File sizes are similar, some of the names were changed to protect the
guilty (Doublespace replaced by Drivespace due to the requirement to
remove Stacker code -- which had undocumented repercussions, if you
ever found a need to restore any data backed up from a DOS 6.0-6.21
system onto a 6.22 system -- turns out some of that Stacker code was
there in the MSBACKUP program as well, but nobody ever mentioned it in
the 6.22 documentation -- non-trivial, but not a factor on a floppy
system anyway).

Seems a reasonable subset. A few items I'd not bother with (SUBST
comes to mind) but all of them are fairly small programs.

I'd like a copy of this as well. Not that I'm likely to use the
extra keymaps (old habits are hard to break, and I find myself
trying to use ctrl-B and ctrl-F to page around Netscape with
limited success). But I'm always willing to check out a new
incarnation of an old friend.
