It may be interesting to note that the 5.0 _upgrade_ from CompuAdd costs ~$69.00 (or is it ~$59? Anyway...). If you buy their MS-DOS 5.0 full-blown kit (which is a COMPLETE operating system, not just the upgrade), it will cost $49.00. Curiouser and curiouser... Perhaps other vendors have a comparable arangement. DISCALIMER (of sorts): We buy a lot of stuff from CompuAdd and have always been satisfied. The only connection we have is that they get a bunch of money from us, from time to time.
