- Unfortunately, none of the above! The last I saw (in PC Week),
- DOS 6.0 is pretty much DOS 5.0, with more of those Central Point/Norton
- licensed jobs added in. It'll have PC Tools Anti-Virus, and Norton Backup
- plus some kind of data compression program (not Stacker, as was reported
- a while ago because the company refused to license Stacker to MS).
-
- That's about it I think! Still no MOVE command? 6^)
