For the 'file install'...... it's in the 32bit Windows file sytem.
So, it will most likely be in LFN format and not accessible from any
version of DOS.
(since I have not yet done it, this is just an educated guess) :(

For an even 'higher educated' guess...
I am almost certain that the 'seperate partition' install will look like
this to DOS:
---directory listing of the demo diskette---
Volume in drive A does not have a label
Directory of A:\
bps�j�n T�" <DIR> 7-00-41 9:16a
1 File(s) 17408 bytes free
System files exist
