   HG>EV>I never bought any of the version 6.x's although I did find a box in   
   HG>EV>a Salvation Army Thrift Store that had the CD and Book for IBM   
   HG>EV>PC-DOS 7.0 that I bought for $5.00US.   
      
   HG>Yeah, the PC-DOS 7 is (was) a very nice package especially since it   
   HG>contains the complete PC Tools program suite.  Then of course there was   
   HG>also a Year 2000 Fixpack.   
      
   Holger,   
      
   I wouldn't know if PC-DOS 7 has all of the PC Tools.   
      
   In the Index of the book under the Central Point listing it has:   
      
   Backup for DOS and Windows   
   Undelete for DOS and Windows   
   Data Monitor   
   Scheduler   
      
   and one more listing called PC Tools Diskfix   
      
   I'd guess there is more to the PC Tools suite than those 7 programs,   
   but hey! I paid $5.99US for it.   
      
   HG>I have no idea what PC-DOS did cost but I skipped MS-DOS after v.5.0 and   
   HG>moved over to PC-DOS 6.0.   
      
   I rooted around and found a December 1993 PC Computing magazine.   
   On page 166 it says DOS 6 Upgrade List Price is $99.95   
   and the Best Price is $46.00 at Comp USA and another store I can't   
   remember the name of.
