   Tom,   
      
   At work the XT had ITT-DOS 2.11 with the manuals, so I tried some of the   
   examples to learn DOS.   
      
   I remember 3.3 having something to do with 30MB hard drives.   
   That ITT XT came with a 10MB HD, I thought it was nicer that saving   
   everything on floppy disks as I did at home with the C=64.   
      
   I remember a bit of DR-DOS and NOVELL-DOS but went with MS-DOS5 when I   
   had the compitable built in 1994.
