Glad to hear that others find value in these historical manuals..

I think you are right, I have IBM DOS 5.0 but its manual is a
Paperback type..

>I have a real nice glass faced wooden book shelf for their display.
>Partly for outward viewing and partly to keep the dust out.

My collection is centered in the family room and is always the
subject of conversation when I have guests over..

All my other reference books and manuals are filed in the garage so I
can get to them if I need one in a hurry.. And I have many Boxes full of
them..

Phil..
