Hello, all:
I was able to get my hands on the two DOS 1.0 disks. So, I spent a
few minutes with Sourcer and a good hex editor in search of the DR copyright
notice. I didn't find it.
Maybe I misunderstood the timing of the message, but I thought that
the 1.0 version of DOS contained copyright information from Digital Research
and when IBM found out, they compelled MS to expunge it, resulting in the
1.1 version.
My recollection (often wrong) was that there was a sequence of code
(load register, move to another register, do a call, etc) that was
taken verbatim from CP/M and used in DOS; not an ASCII string containing
a copyright notice.
Regards,
