I am sure there are dozens, nay, thousands of PC-DOS users who would joyously give their mothers away to get the sources. :-) N.F.P! Where would IBM and MicroSoft be if they gave away the sources? I have seen disassembly attempts, but they're a bit of a pain to read. I like to see comments in my assembly...! As a bit of trivia, I heard rumors DEC paid about a quarter of a million dollars (!!) for the source license to MS-DOS so that they could continue to support their machines.... But, of course, if the sources ARE floating around, I mentioned that there may be a considerable, albeit quiet, desire for them... Good luck, Alan p.s. I notice your company is AT&T Research...Now, what would AT&T want with IBM software? ;-) ------------------------------------------------------- When not disassembling: Alan I.
