As I remember, you cross-posted your request to comp.sys.ibm.pc and to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.

The flamer apparently did not remove comp.sys.ibm.pc from the newsgroups
line of his flaming reply.

The right place to ask for MS-DOS/PC-DOS binaries is comp.sys.ibm.pc.

The right place to post MS-DOS/PC-DOS binaries is comp.binaries.ibm.pc.

Hope this helps.
