I also haven´t 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 don´t want Windows), but I haven´t checked Vobis recently myself. I also have seen it listed in some ads. > PCDOS 2000 was only supposed to have a few minor improvements > related to Y2K. Yes, that´s 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. > As soon as I get some more definitive info I'll let you know. That would be great. Thanks. Matthias -- ; http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs180/mpdokeng.html; http://mpaul.drdos.org
