Hello, I got MS-DOS 4.01 from Zeos, it included both manuals & GW-BASIC, MS actually added some features I didn't expect ( don't remember what ;-) Personaly I would question any copy of a software product i Purchased that did not come 'complete' or with out manuals. i.e. do some mail order places actually sell you a legit copy of DOS or did they purchase ONE copy, and put it on your hard you purchased, then charge you for a copy of thiers. So if you did not get the manuals or GW-BASIC I would call Microsoft & ask if this company has the 'rights' to resell MS-DOS, & why they aren't selling the manuals or complete package..... I hate copyright infringements........ Jay -- Jay B.
