According to the "Personal Computers" column in today's New York Times,
Microsoft specifies that each DOS 5.0 licence is for ONE machine only,
 i.e., not multiple machines per user.  The rationale given by MS is that
while application software conceivably may be moved from home 'puter to
notebook to office desktop, an operating system is likely to stay put
on one computer.  MS will sell additional licences without disks
or manuals for $79 list.  (Gee, what a bargain !)
