I downloaded MSDOS, version 3.30 from that site. Two problems: The downloads are RAR files. The only UNRAR utility for DOS that I could find is an expensive shareware program. The shareware program works fine, but I wish I could find a freeware UNRAR utility for DOS. After I UNRARED the download, I found that the archive consisted of two IMZ files. It is my understanding that you can't do anything with an IMZ file unless you have a program named WinImage, a Windows program. I don't know if WinImage is freeware, shareware, or payware. Maybe WinImage comes "free" with some versions of Windows. I don't know. Does anybody know of a DOS program that can do something with an IMZ file? I don't understand why anyone would be offering downloads for DOS operating systems that you can't do anything with to prepare the boot disks and extract the files unless you have Windows. It doesn't make sense. BTW, I already tried re-naming these IMZ files to IMG files and attempted to do something with them by using DR-DOS DISKCOPY. Also I tried to do something with them by using DCP. I couldn't do anything with these files by using any of the software that I already have. I don't want to have to download and install another one of those awful Windows programs on my other machine, which is a WIN95 machine, because that one already runs entirely too slow as a result of all those awful Windows programs that are already installed on it.
