In episode <1986@optilink.UUCP>, we heard cramer@optilink.UUCP (Clayton Cramer) say: >...GWBASIC is >needed from Microsoft -- this is included with MSDOS releases. (MSDOS >is of course not available from Microsoft, but from the manufacturer. >If your manufacturer no longer exists -- maybe you can hope that your >hardware is similar enough to some other manufacturer to use the MSDOS >that comes with it.) As of version 3.2, Microsoft has a retail version of MS-DOS. In other words, you can buy it direct. I don't know about 3.3, but I assume it's available too. BTW they don't leave any of the utilities (like LINK) out and, judging from the comments I've read here, the docs are better than what most of the dealers provide. The /E parameter to COMMAND.COM is documented, for instance. I think the price is less than $90. Kenneth Herron
