[ about a version of DOS 5.0 which doesn't say "revision a" ]

I went back and checked into this some more, after everyone else
reported "Revision A" all over the place, and it turns out that I did
not see the "Revision A" message because I checked it under NDOS,
Norton's replacement for COMMAND.COM. When I check the version under
COMMAND.COM, I do indeed get "DOS 5.00, Revision A". Sorry if I caused
any confusion!
