HG>GM Ed,

HG>EV>I never bought any of the version 6.x's although I did find a box in

HG>EV>PC-DOS 7.0 that I bought for $5.00US.

HG>Yeah, the PC-DOS 7 is (was) a very nice package especially since it

Holger,

I wouldn't know if PC-DOS 7 has all of the PC Tools.

In the Index of the book under the Central Point listing it has:

Backup for DOS and Windows
Undelete for DOS and Windows
Data Monitor
Scheduler

and one more listing called PC Tools Diskfix

I'd guess there is more to the PC Tools suite than those 7 programs,
but hey! I paid $5.99US for it.

HG>I have no idea what PC-DOS did cost but I skipped MS-DOS after v.5.0 and
HG>moved over to PC-DOS 6.0.

I rooted around and found a December 1993 PC Computing magazine.
On page 166 it says DOS 6 Upgrade List Price is $99.95
and the Best Price is $46.00 at Comp USA and another store I can't
remember the name of.
