Those are very different operating systems, this is DOS 3.2 + later abandoned very crude multitasking features. Roughly.
And this matters because DOS 3.3 was a milestone.
4.01 comes from 4.00 which has nothing to do with 4.0 (yay for versions).

DOS 3.3 couldn't understand large partitions -except for Compaq dos 3.31. But regular dos 3.3 couldn't. I don't think dos 3.2 could even understand extended partitions/logical drives -much less large disks.
Still -pretty neat!
This is not accurate. Several OEMs added proprietary variations of FAT which supported larger partitions. For instance I run Zenith MS-DOS 3.30+ which has this ability on a Zenith Z-161 XT compatible luggable.
Compaq’s 3.31 added FAT16B support which allowed larger partitions and was the standard for larger partition support going forward in standard MS-DOS.
Microsofts' releases have the benefit of being unambiguous.
