Egghead sells the IBM PCDOS upgrade version for the same price as the MSDOS version.

I don't think that MS has a non upgrade version of 5.0 yet. -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.
