This seem a very interesting stuff, I'm subscribed to a DR DOS
discussion group at yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dr-dos/
I wonder if you be so kind to post some photos of that bundle in the
group.

BTW: What are the dates of the files in the disks, We have a copy of DR
DOS dated 6/89, and I have (last release ??) GEM desktop 3.13 disks
with some files dated 2/89 and the rest in 1988 (I don't remember the
month now)
