By the time DOS 5 came out, due to the FAT changes, you had to upgrade from Q-DOS 2 to Q-DOS 3 which was strictly retail, but with a guarantee that they'd take it back and buy you the file manager of your choice if you didn't like it. I googled around for a bit and found a few hits on abandonware sites that either had dead links or required registration...so no easy link to paste. The author ended up losing Gazelle Systems as a condition of his divorce settlement, and his ex kept it running for a while without producing any new versions or products. He started PowerQuest a few years later and produced Partition Magic. .\\ike
