I haven't tried New Publisher with my DR-DOS, but I would think that
each would benefit by having links to the other on their websites at the
very least. Perhaps New Deal could become involved as an OEM for
DR-DOS, combining it with their current product to create more value for
their customers.
I was under the impression, however, from looking at New Deal's webpage
that their software was an operating system in it's own right and did
not require a separate DOS. Am I wrong on this?
