Our department presently uses IBM PC LAN Program version 1.34 and would
like to upgrade all of our PCs to DOS 5.0.  However, we learned that
IBM PC LAN program is only compatible with IBM DOS 5.0 and not with
MS DOS 5.0.  When will the program be compatible with MS DOS 5.0?
I ask because several vendors (e.g., Everex, HP, and Toshiba) each have
their own version of MS DOS 5.0.  Therefore, we cannot install
IBM DOS 5.0 on these systems, resulting in those PCs not being able to
run IBM PC LAN Program.  Do you see our problem?  We are relying on
network software that is not compatible with MS DOS, a version that is
more dominant that IBM's.  What can we do?  How can anyone persuade IBM
to make its PC LAN Program compatible with MS DOS 5.0?  Does anyone know
of the email address for the IBM Division responsible for this program?
