There was an MS-DOS 1.25, but not a PC-DOS. The second released version of
PC-DOS was 1.10    Note that the part after the PERIOD was stored
internally as ten, and the part after the period was then ALWAYS displayed
as a 2 digit decimal number.  MS-DOS was released to other OEMs, who could
even change the NAME! (Z-DOS, etc.)  Most of them (Compaq, etc.) called
that version 1.25   Note that the part after the PERIOD was stored
internally as twenty five. 
   The (original) Sanyo disks that I have say "MS(tm)-DOS V. 1.25 #1.0".
Even though they called it MS-DOS it was VERY modified for the Sanyo.

   FWIW,
