In th original posting, that is what I meant. The PC7300 literature speaks of
DBASE III, Microsoft BASIC, Microsoft WORD, MULTIPLAN, etc. I suppose that
these programs were developed in Unix environments and ported or targeted 
to MS-DOS. So I did not mean to imply that there was to be an 808x/MS-DOS
environment (proper) on the PC7300.
