	Interresting. I thougnt that in 2001 was all support for MS-DOS and systems based on it abandoned. However on russian Fidonet I found this link: IO.SYS update --- DOS-u-akbar!

Until Windows XP came along (late 2001?) these were the last Windows versions for home users. It's not as spectacular as an update of retail MS-DOS (i.e. version 6.22) of that time would have been. --- l

	A quick inspection of the link provided will instantly reveal that it's an update of Windoze, not MS-DOS. Also it's a typical "nothing in 1'000'000 languages", 8 years old, I don't have the "problem" described there, and even less a valid license for this thing nor anything else from this fine company, so NO, I won't download it. --- This is a LOGITECH mouse driver, but some software expect here the following string:* This is Copyright 1983 Microsoft *
