   The PC that I have that came with DOS 3.3 and GWBASIC was also purchased in   
   late 1987, so that time frame is correct.  Unfortunately, it did not come with   
   a DOS manual.  I figured out how a lot of the utilities worked via trial and   
   error -- a few of those errors required a restore!  :O  :D

   P.S.  The first DOS manuals I received were with the next machine, which ran   
   DOS 5.0.  IIRC, it was two books and one of them was really thick for a   
   paperback.  ;)
