	I recently wrote an invoice program in C for my parents, who have
an old computer with 640k and that's it.  The program worked fine on mine
running DOS5.0 but gets an error on theirs running DOS 2 or 3.*.  I'll leave
my C questions for the proper news group, but I wanted to know if you can
run DOS5.0 with no hard drive and just 640k memory.  My program opens files
and it gets the "Error opening drive" when run.  Like I said it works fine
on mine. And I'm hoping it's the version of Dos they're using.

Any help appreciated.
