Went to those places and got the files. The files UNRAR250.ZIP and and RARX290.ZIP are not for DOS. They are for Windows "DOS-boxes". UNRAR250.ZIP doesn't even contain a compiled executable for the "DOS-box". It just has source code. WARNING: If anyone should download UNRAR250.ZIP you would be well advised not to unzip it to a directory on your hard drive. This zip file contained a 654 byte file named BEOS.INS, or something similar, that I could not figure out how to delete by any method other than by resorting to "DELTREE"!!!!! The file had no hidden or system or read-only attributes and it apparently was not a virus. Also there was no problem with my disk having lost clusters and cross-linked files. Maybe somebody on this list might want to have some fun looking into the problem. Maybe there is some way to explain this most outrageous undeletable file. I think the problem might have had something to do with perhaps an illegal character having been inserted into the filename, but I don't know what that character might have been. I downloaded a shareware unrar utility for DOS from somewhere named RAR206.EXE. It is a self-extracting archive. This shareware version is functional and it works nicely. Registration is $35.00 U.S. I sure would like to find a free unrar utility for DOS. At "http://www.winimage.com/extract.htm"; I downloaded EXTRAC21.ZIP. This archive does indeed have a very nice DOS freeware utility for extracting the IMZ image files which are found in the RAR archives which you can download from http://386page.gooddays.org/ Welcome to The 386 Page The IMZ files in the RAR archive for the MSDOS 3.30 version that I downloaded unfortunately are not boot disks, but they do seem to contain all of the files and utilities that came provided with that version. I don't know why the the guy who owns the website didn't just zip up the package. As these files are provided, one must first unrar them and then he must extract the IMZ files by using either WinImage or a DOS version of the same. What a hassle! That doesn't make sense.
