dos 1.0

  Let me make this REAL clear. I've had both DOS 1.0 and 1.1 and they were
identical except for different disks and a paper sticker on the package
that said "DOS 1.1". I'm also fairly sure that there was no other mention
of hte DOs version anywhere else in the package except of the disks
themselves. I specificly checked the part number printed on the packages
and they were exactly the same. I didn't go through EVERY page in the
manual but the 20 or so pages that I checked, including the title page,
indexs, introduction, copyright, etc, were all exactly the same. I'm not
100% sure but I don't think either of them mentioned MS. I did see a LATER
DOs 1.1 package that had CHANGE pages added to it that was slightly
different. I don't remember if it had the same part number and paper
sticker or not.
