The question was, since from information other postings Egghead is
selling PC-DOS 5 for $40, some $20 cheaper than MS-DOS 5:

	DOES PC-DOS 5 WORK ON CLONES?

The point is, can we clone owners expect to run PC-DOS 5 on our clones
& save the $20?  I've followed this thread as best I could & haven't
seen anyone say specifically they were running PC-DOS 5 (the cheaper
version) on their clone, & which clone they had.

I would appreciate precise info...

Thanks, Bob
