- The DOS in OS/2 is the operating equivalent of DOS 5.0, but is not an
- actual "version." You can, however, run a REAL version of DOS (i.e., DOS
- 5.02) under OS/2, as I am doing right now. If you install Dual Boot
- or Boot Manager to use DOS, it uses the real version of DOS that you install,
- not the OS/2 equivalent.
