According to the "Personal Computers" column in today's New York Times, Microsoft specifies that each DOS 5.0 licence is for ONE machine only, i.e., not multiple machines per user. The rationale given by MS is that while application software conceivably may be moved from home 'puter to notebook to office desktop, an operating system is likely to stay put on one computer. MS will sell additional licences without disks or manuals for $79 list. (Gee, what a bargain !)
