Anybody knows something about its history ??
I have installation disks with files dated 6/1990 and also a boot
disk
with some files dated in 2/1991, I know that
several bug fixing
versions exist, but Which is the last ??
I remembered it when I was reading all that Windows Vista
(LongHorn)
stuff. Seems that M$ is using 'vaporware'
again to distract
attention
from Intel Mac OS X much like they did with
MS-DOS 5.0 and DR DOS
5.0.
A bit, but not much about internal versions and so on. I've
contributed a fair bit to the Wikipedia article on it - that might be
a good place to look and discuss it.
I also have a Spanish version dated 12/90, some utils have been
updated, e.g.
- MEM (1.00 -> 1.01) now displays HMA contents.
- CHKDSK (6.14 -> 6.16) ??
- EMM386.SYS (1.2 -> 1.21) Windows 3.0 works in extended mode.
... probably some more, but I didn't check all of them.
