For those interested in trying DRDOS5 without paying the current mail oorder price (street price about $120) there is a cheaper Competitive upgrade for those who already use MSDOS or PCDOS. It cost $79 at Babbages but perhaps may even be cheaper direct. It appears to be the fully functional package with complete (?) documentation. I tried it and I liked it, with a few reservations. Others have posted its features here over the past year, so I will not repeat them. It seems to load and execute programs slightly faster than the PCDOS 3.3 I was using. I'll post a wish list of things it does *not* have when this is complete. -- Michael Volow, Psychiatry, Durham VA Med Center, Durham NC 27712 919 286 0411 Ext 6933 mvolo@ecsvax.edu
