I asked to have this forwarded to me.
: Two cents from richf and I;
: 1) The check for dr dos better be perfect, otherwize you could be in a heep of trouble ..
..
: 4) The PC-DOS statement is problematic if ibm calls dr dos pc dos 6 so we think that we have to not state ms-dos or pc-dos directly
: we can get the message out that they don't work with windows without seeming so manipulative. We need to say the right thing so that people get the right message - we are helping users by giving them info that windows is only tested on ms-dos.
