Smiles, I can respect that. Integrity of course, especially as I am not totally sure if the package is legal.. I think it is, if only because it still exists, even findable via google. Microsoft shut down rather a few others I understand. > > I am not aware of any legitimate (legal) stand-alone MS-DOS versions 7 and > up.

I can assure you that none of the computers I have running this system know the difference as to official or not. They boot as ms dos, function as ms dos, perhaps a touch better, and remain solid for me as ms dos. I have been using computers since 1988, and have only run Dos. this main machine is a Pentium III with 784 meg of memory and two very large to dos standards hard drives. No bugs crashes, or windows, smiles. thanks, Karen > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
