  I thought that rang a faint bell... I have about a linear foot of
documentation for TurboDos 1.4.. most of it still shrunk-wrapped.
Perhaps there are disks within... (go check *now*, John.. don't
keep people in suspense)

 Okay... (huff puff) I'm back.

 No disks, damn. [I have 25 milk crates full of various docs,
computer, pro-video, pro-audio, catalogs, etc,etc,etc.. from the
estate of an acquaintance of mine whom God formatted about four
years ago... his widow finally cleaned out the library... and called
me for some reason. She had previously disposed of the rooms-full of
hardware he had...] this is why I have only paperwork.

  In one crate I find the complete manual, (a three-inch notebook),
as well as the 'Programmer's Guide', the '8086 Programmer's Guide'
and the '8086 Implementor's Guide'. Then there is the 'EZBAKUP Tape
Utility' and the 'COMPRESS DISK Compression Utility.

  Also there is another inch-thick pile of user's notes'
newsletters, Field Bulletins... too much to plow thru tonite.

  So *now* what do I do... I know!! E-BAY!! I can go to Australia
again.. and fly 1st Class this time...

  No, that would be Morally Reprehensible. And there's too much to
copy, at least for me.

  So: Ideas?

  Cheers

John
