Well, since OpenDOS is the descendant of DR DOS 6, I suppose it's
still got all the latter's cool features... If it does, then
CONFIG.SYS becomes more similar to a batch file, and with such
commands as SWITCH and GOTO it's possible to create multiconfig-like
menus. Unfortunately DR DOS 6 and AFAIK Novell DOS 7 (and hence
OpenDOS) don't support MS-DOS's variety of multiconfig; but UTSL and
you can make it so (what an SF-ey ending!).
