I asked to have this forwarded to me.
Two cents from richf and I;
1) The check for dr dos better be perfect, otherwize you could be in a heep of trouble ..
..
4) The PC-DOS statement is problematic if ibm calls dr dos pc dos 6 so we think that we have to not state ms-dos or pc-dos directly
..
we can get the message out that they don't work with windows without seeming so manipulative. We need to say the right thing so that people get the right message - we are helping users by giving them info that windows is only tsted on ms-dos.
