Yes the picture on the front is of a box that reads "Central Point
PC TOOLS for DOS" and the title above the box says "How Many Reasons
are There to Upgrade to New PC Tools Version 8 for DOS?" and then
the order form says "I'm Ready to Upgrade to PC Tools Version 8 for
Just $69.95" - no mention of *DOS* there.

*HOWEVER* on the *back* of the order form across from the "No Postage
Necessary if ...." stuff it states:


		Special Note: Version 8 is designed
		      for DOS environments.

	     Version 8 was designed to be a DOS only
	product.  Please note that Windows applications
	contained in Version 7 have not been updated to
	Version 8.  To be kept up-to-date on our future
	Windows products, please check the Windows
	information box on the order form.
