   Hello Everyone:

	 Help! I have another problem with MSDOS product. I heard that 
   Microsoft sales release new version of MSDOS 5.0. Someone told me that
   it will be retail product but I found out that MSDOS 5.0 still is not
   retail product and upgrade-only version (required DOS 2.11 or later).
   I unable to find *FULL* version of MSDOS 5.0.

   Hey, your local!

Well, if you want to buy everything, buy a version of 3.3, 4.01, or
what ever (> 2.11) and install that, than do the upgrade.  Or, talk
someone into letting you borrow and old version, install it, and
upgrade.  Most everyone has old copies around they'd be willing to let
you borrrow long enough to get running.  Really all you have to do to
install it is to FDISK the hard disk, FORMAT the hard disk (or what
ever, I don't know 'bout your hardware), SYS the hard disk, make sure
it is bootable, boot off of the hard disk, then run the MS-DOS
upgrade.  You don't really have to copy everything on the old version
to the hard disk. All of these you'd have to do anyway if it is a
virgin system so you're not wasting any time.
