Hi all. I've posted a couple questions in here before and always
received good advice. Now I have another. Someone told me that you can
download MS-DOS for free from various internet sites. So far I haven't
found any sites that have download links for MS-DOS. Are their such
sites and if not where can one buy MS-DOS 6.22 or higher(or is 6.22
the latest version?). Thanks all.

Depends on how much DOS you want. You can download DOS 7.0 from
www.bootdisk.com. Boot from the floppy, do a "sys C:" and bang, you're
running DOS 7.0! The Windows 9x CD also has supplemental DOS utilites
and C:\windows\command pretty much has every DOS utility you would ever
want.

Thanks again. Actually, I didn't think MS would give away MS-DOS but I
thought, "what the heck, i'll ask".

Hello. Check on www.ebay.com. You can find a full install of MS-DOS 6.22
(the latest/last MS-DOS version) for around $5 usually. You CAN download
the MS-DOS 6.22 Step Up free and legally. You will need MS-DOS version 6.0
or higher. It will update your 6.0 or higher to 6.22. Since it is so
cheap, you may want to just buy it off eBay. Surely $5 isn't too much to
pay to be legal for DOS. :-)

Hope this helps,
Jason Whorton
