     I know of no such feature of DOS 3.3.  I have been using PC-DOS
3.3 since it was released in April on a couple of AT-clones and have had
no problems. One of the things it *was* to do is enable larger hard
disks than 32 MB. This is kinda true, it simply has built into it
a partitioning feature. Each partition must still be <= 32 MB. Maybe
this is what you saw. Other than that, I dont see too many large scale
enhancements from the 3.1 I was running.
