You should.

Take MSDOS installation disks and install it. Delete command.com and reboot the
computer and see what happpens. The computer hangs and reports that a part of
DOS is missing. That proves that command.com is an integral part of DOS.

Soooo...
Just because you can replace part of the OS does not mean the replaced part is
not a part of the OS. This is illogical. Replace command.com with 4DOS and it
is no longer MSDOS, but 4DOS. No software producer will support an altered
version of thir product. All guarantees, if any, will be null and void.

It seems many 4DOS users see it otherwise. I suggest you an experiment as in
the example above and decide for yourself. There is no room for discussion in
this group on this particular topic. Just form your own opinion.
