Can anyone tell me if there is a site that freely distributes old versions
of MS-DOS.  I want to give the PC-Task demo a try, and I don't want to 
rush out and buy a brand spanking new copy of DOS to do it.  I know that
Apple freely distributes older Mac OS's; does Microsoft do the same?

Not that I know of.  I think there was a FreeDOS project but I haven't
details on it.

   Several people <including myself> will sell older copies of DOS that should
work fine for you.  The most expensive part would be shipping COD. <grin>  E-
mail me if you want one.

What is the acceptable range of versions of MS-DOS that can make PC-Task Demo
work ?
