I think it would be more worthwhile to try to reconstruct the functionality of MS-DOS 5 and 6 on the 4.01 base, honestly...

Which I've been trying to do but that's not really in my wheelhouse. I'd be open to integrating improvements in my fork

Man, if someone could pump Microsoft for 6.21 the way that one guy did for 4, I have a specific list of things I want to do with MS-DOS. (My fork does contain an improved ATTRIB as well as a rewrite of 6.0's CHOICE. But that's only a couple things.)
