Hello!

I have a certified, bonafide copy of Messy DOS 3.3. The manuals have Phoenix
written all over them. I paid $85 for the thing a year and a half ago. Now,
with all this talk about DOS 5.0 coming out real soon, I thought I'd find out
how to upgrade my copy of 3.3. Surprizingly, it seems that there is no
channel for me to upgrade!! (Even to 4.01). Microsoft wouldn't have any of it,
and the people at Phoenix are "going to call me back" as of last October. 
(This, after a non toll free call and a non toll free directory assistance to
get their number, which seems to tell me that this is not the proper channel
to inquire about upgrades). So, can anyone tell me how I should upgrade my
copy of DOS without shelling out the full price?

Thanks!

Milan
