If all the furor on the comp.os.msdos and associated groups hasn't been
noticed, Microsoft has released MS-DOS 5.0 for PC's and compatibles.

This probably boarders on blasphemy for this newsgroup.. I have DOS on
one HD, Minix on the other.

The features list for 5.0 looks interesting.  I was thinking of upgrading..
but have seen messages talking about how DOS modifies the partition and
file attribute tables.

Has anyone gone through the upgrade process to 5.0?  Were there problems
with dosread/doswrite/dosdir afterwards?

E-mail cheerfully accepted.

Regards,
Mark
