 Thanks for the info Doug,
But, that's not what we wanted.
(we already knew where to get v7.03)
What we would like are the old versions of DR-DOS and Novell-DOS.

(These .ZIP files)

 I have checked every .ZIP file and they are *all* corrupted.

[I have not had a chance as of yet to check the .EXE files for corruption]

 As before... thank you for any assistance you may be able to offer.
