I also havenīt seen a retail issue of PC DOS 2000 yet, however,
I have heard that it continues to be widely distributed with new
PCs as Vobis OEM version at least here in Germany (when you donīt
want Windows), but I havenīt checked Vobis recently myself.
I also have seen it listed in some ads.

Yes, thatīs true, PC DOS 2000 is nothing but PC DOS 7.00 revision 1
and probably almost identical to the Y2K FixPak for PC DOS 7.0.
