   Re: PC-DOS 7.x

   HG>In a message dated 07-28-12, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   HG>Hi Ed,   
   Hi Holger,   
      
   HG>HG>Yeah, the PC-DOS 7 is (was) a very nice package especially since it   
   HG>HG>contains the complete PC Tools program suite.  Then of course there was   
   HG>HG>also a Year 2000 Fixpack.   
      
   HG>EV>Holger,   
      
   HG>EV>I wouldn't know if PC-DOS 7 has all of the PC Tools.   
      
   HG>But I do know since I have the complete PCTools deLuxe v6.0 complete   
   HG>with manuals.   
      
   I've just got the User's Guide that came with PC DOS 7 Upgrade Edition.   
      
   The CD has "Program Disc" & "25H7021" written on it, and a directory   
   listing I printed out for the CD has a Volume Name of PCDOS70.   
      
   In the root is a PCDOS70 directory dated 02-13-95  3:26p and all the   
   sub-directories under it have the same date, but all of the files are   
   dated 11-17-94  1:00p.   
      
   My directory print out says 503 files 23556338 bytes are on the CD, is   
   that close to what yours says?   
      
   HG>EV>I rooted around and found a December 1993 PC Computing magazine.   
   HG>EV>On page 166 it says DOS 6 Upgrade List Price is $99.95   
   HG>EV>and the Best Price is $46.00 at Comp USA and another store I can't   
   HG>EV>remember the name of.   
      
   HG>Well, if PC-DOS v.7 cost me something I probably have a receipt for it   
   HG>because I have saved all receipts for programmes and shareware that I   
   HG>have bought/registered.   
      
   I paid US$5.99 + State Sales Tex for mine, the receipt is dated   
   12-17-99.   
      
   Stacker 4.0 came on the CD and I used it for awhile on the 486 PCDOS7 is   
   installed on but later on decided to unStac my 3 HDs.   
      
   HG>The PC-DOS 7 I have included also a CD in contrast to PC-DOS v6.1 that   
   HG>is on 3.5" disks.   
      
   I just have the CD, no 3.5" disks for PCDOS7.
