 Mark, could you pick up a set for me. I've been looking to acquire a set
for some time.

 Regarding Don's comment, He must have a different distribution since I
have a single disk labeled Windows 286 v 2.10 Setup, Build, and Displays 1
Disk and below diskette: 1 of 4 . It's a Microsoft A(merican) R(esearch)
C(oporation (sic)) disk .
 I also have a 7 disk set of win 3.1. They're 1.2 megs. Possibly his is 360.
Both come up "unformatted" dialogue box in File Manager. I didn't try them at
start-up lest I screw up my win set-up and I didn't have my win-less dos box
operating. Possibly also his set is built for install
