[net.micro.pc] IBM AT DOS 3.0/3.1

gordonl@microsoft.UUCP (Gordon Letwin) (08/17/84)

I just love all the various snide comments I read
such as "DOS 3.1 is DOS 3.0 without the bugs".

This kind of stuff indicates envy, which I take as a compliment.
(Though in fairness, the submitor says he was quoting someone else...)

DOS 3.1 is DOS 3.0 with networking software.  The networking software
version was delayed due to a variety of problems, related to hardware,
and non-microsoft software, primarily.  DOS 3.0 has passed the same
rigid IBM QA process that DOS 3.1 will pass.  All software has bugs
but DOS 3.0 is considerably more bugfree than any other version of
DOS.

Would you, or one of your colleagues, be willing to post a summary of
all the new, neat things included in MS-DOS 3.0?  I have yet to see
any published information on it, and would be very interested in using
it on the PC XT's I work with, as well as on the PC AT's we'll doubless
obtain after they get the bugs out :-).
