Quick question to any and all. Does Zenith plan on marketing their own flavor of DOS 5.0 ? Does Zenith have any plans to produce their own version of DOS 5.0 ? Thanks in advance. ************************************************************************* *** All the usual disclaimers ** Wayne A. Harris **** *** apply.

I went to the microsoft announcement yesterday. You can only get DOS 5.0 from hardware vendors (ie. new systems) or purchase the upgrade thru various channels (ie. egghead, site license etc). When you upgrade to 5.0, microsofts upgrade program will rename vendor specific programs (like Zenith's MODE command will become 33MODE.COM). so to answer your question. they should. but then again i dont know anything. nick

The short answer is yes. If you were really hot to get it, too bad, you probably missed the beta program. If your still really hot for it, you can run the standard MS release, but this won't support all of your Zenith features. This ZDS release of MS-DOS is closer to generic MS-DOS than past ZDS releases. This was a design goal of the project, and something I view as a positive feature effecting compatibility. Exact release date is a marketing question, so don't ask me. Gerry Gleason
