I've been seeing a growing amount of discussion (mostly in InfoWorld) about the impending release of MS-DOS 5.0, the most recent of which seems to suggest that it will be released "first quarter 87". Does anybody have any idea when I can reasonably expect to get my hands on this beast? It has many features that would make my life a LOT easier, like multitasking and > 640K memory support. However, I have to make a number of hardware purchasing decisions NOW, so I'd like to have an idea about how strongly I should factor the impending arrival of 5.0 into my decisions. Any thoughts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke McCormick | Whichever way your pleasure tends, USMAIL 550 w. 113yh st.
