Can anybody get a copy of DOS 2.0 to me?
Respond either to:
SANFORD@BLUE
LPO 10227
or See me at GSLS on Wednesday and Thursday 10am-2pm and
Wednesday 2pm-5pm.
If you come to GSLS, I can make a copy of it at the Satellite, but
let me know in advance so I can bring a disk.
THANKYOU

Neil, you may not realize this, but your note is more or less equivalent to saying something like this: I want a car radio. Will someone please help me steal one? Not only are you admitting your intention to violate the copyright law, but you are asking others to help you. I suggest you reconsider.

I don't think many people on the net would be able to make it GSLS during those times.

On the contrary, I think Mr. Sanford's note is more or less equivalent to: I want a car radio. Anyone have one they are not using any more and are willing to give me, owner's manual and all? A "copy" of a piece of software does not automatically imply an illegitamate "copy" of said piece of software. If I had upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1, I might want to get rid of my 2.0, manual and all. This is well within the confines of the licence agreement.

Well EXCUSE ME FOR ASKING for a copy of Ibm DOS 2.0. For all those people who are concerned about software piracy, I happened to have purchase Dos 2.0, as well as Dos 3.1, but as fragil as floppy disks are, my Dos 2.0 original was destroyed, so in order to save some time (4 to 6 weeks to be exact) until I received a new one from IBM, I would have liked to continue my work. I'm sure if one of your friends had this problem, You would have jumped at the chance to help them. I see that this network is for the Elite few only, so forget I ever mentioned it.

We sometimes forget that people are innocent until proven guilty. Just to get a last jab in there, however, why didn't you just use your backup (of course we ALL make backups of our software :*) Grant Prellwitz uucp: !ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!pre1 CIS: 76474,2121

Well EXCUSE ME FOR ASKING for a copy of Ibm DOS 2.0.
For all those people who are concerned about software piracy,
I happened to have purchase Dos 2.0, as well as Dos 3.1, but
as fragil as floppy disks are, my Dos 2.0 original was destroyed,
so in order to save some time (4 to 6 weeks to be exact) until I
received a new one from IBM, I would have liked to continue my work.
I'm sure if one of your friends had this problem, You would have
jumped at the chance to help them.
I see that this network is for the Elite few only, so forget I
ever mentioned it.

Some people might make a copy for a friend under certain circumstances, but
it *is* illegal. Like dope & sex, it isn't something you ASK for on the net,
unless you're a masochist.
As fragile as floppy disks are, it pays to make backups.

No, no, you've got it wrong. Because this net ISN'T for the Elite few only, people were unwilling to automatically assume that your request was strictly legit. If this net were for the elite only, we'd know for sure you were ok and wouldn't have had to worry about the piracy question.
