Thomas,
Well I don't know if I "wowed" anyone or not, hehe...as for a
reliable source for MS DOS...that is getting a bit scarce at
the present time also. Same for the Win95 updates. There are
still a few of the critical Win95 updates at the Microsoft web
site, www.microsoft.com/windows should get you there. Note
that the Window's Update thing no longer runs on Win95, and
98 is to be dropped in a couple of years. I stumbled across
one of those "abandonware" sites that claimed to have MS DOS
available, as well as old versions of Windows...but I did not
download anything and see if it really did...caution is to
be excercised at many of these sites. The web address I found:
http://pages.sprint.ca/wrs2233/files/abandonware.htm
The only other sources for old releases of MS operating systems
would maybe be E-Bay, or if you just got lucky and found a
installer set at some old computer shop, garage sale, etc.
Good luck!
