- Yes the picture on the front is of a box that reads "Central Point
- PC TOOLS for DOS" and the title above the box says "How Many Reasons
- are There to Upgrade to New PC Tools Version 8 for DOS?" and then
- the order form says "I'm Ready to Upgrade to PC Tools Version 8 for
- Just $69.95" - no mention of *DOS* there.
-
- *HOWEVER* on the *back* of the order form across from the "No Postage
- Necessary if ...." stuff it states:
-
-
- Special Note: Version 8 is designed
- for DOS environments.
-
- Version 8 was designed to be a DOS only
- product. Please note that Windows applications
- contained in Version 7 have not been updated to
- Version 8. To be kept up-to-date on our future
- Windows products, please check the Windows
- information box on the order form.
