Worthy of note, since we're this far off topic -- the licensing
agreement from Microsoft prohibits distributing DOS or its components. 
The only legal way to obtain a DOS installation set is to get it from
someone who is taking a computer out of service, or otherwise retiring a
copy (NOT upgrading from it -- check your license agreements).  Or you
could buy it from Microsoft, but they don't sell any version of DOS any
more.

Further discussion of this topic on the list could, later, be seen as
evidence of conspiracy and could even implicate Mel for allowing
discussion of how to distribute pirated copies of the software.  At the
very least, please take all such discussions off list.
