THE FINAL DOS UPGRADE?

Tired of waiting for Windows 95 and not ready for the leap to OS/2 Warp? In what may be the last-ever upgrade of trusty old DOS, IBM's PC-DOS 7 is now available. Improvements include a version of Stac Electronics' Stacker disk-compression software, enhanced memory management, and better support for multiple hardware configurations on laptop computers. The street price is around $55 for users upgrading from earlier versions of IBM or Microsoft DOS.
