     I have been using PTS-DOS v.6.51 for about two years now. It seems
generally to be quite good and very compatible with Arachne thru v.1.60B1.     
However, after v.6.51 was released, it is my understanding that Paragon
Technology Systems split into two rival companies, each using the same
name.  There have since been releases of PTS-DOS with higher version
numbers and lesser capabilities!  What the current situation is, I don't
know.
