[net.micro.pc] PC DOS 2.0/2.1 Speed Query

Burhans@ECLD.#ECLnet (10/01/84)

From:  Jackie <Burhans@ECLD.#ECLnet>

I have recently heard the nasty rumour that DOS 2.1 is merely a slowed
down version of DOS 2.0 to allow it to run on a PCjr. Thus, the theory
goes, regular PC users would wish to avoid using DOS 2.1 but might want
the manual as a reference. Surely this isn't true? Can anybody tell me
about or direct me to information about the differences between DOS 2.0
and 2.1 and/or PC vs PCjr speed issues. Thanks in advance.

The DOS 2.1 manual DOES NOT include the DOS function calls.  It's been
moved to the Tech Reference (a new one).  I thought I was losing my
mind after spending 1/2 hour trying to find the calls in the 2.1
manual. 

If anybody has a 2.0 manual and wants an *upgrade* to 2.1, I'll be
happy to trade  :)
