That is good advice EXCEPT companies such as IBM don't put the total number
of disks on each disk. Microsoft does, and since this is ms.dos it applies
but I just bought a Warp version that has 30 floppies or so, none of them
marked 1 of 15 etc. The bloody box doesn't even have the number of disks on
it, neither does the manual. Turned out to be the full version anyway.

Wasn't there a DOS 7 download from a Chinese site listed here a few months
ago?
