The one (sold for years online, which I bought in 2004 or so) was 7.03 from 1999. AFAIK, I always considered that the last "official" "full" version.

I have no idea. He's very prolific on Wikipedia. He's a genius, most likely, so he's probably just busy. Back when he helped save the Pat Villani article on Wikipedia in 2011, I mentioned that he should probably have his own article!

> OK DR-DOS is still on sale but not the 7.07 binary,
The drdos.com website has been down for over a year, so I'm not honestly sure if it is sold online anymore, which is a shame. Yes, it was quite dated (hardcoded limits in many files), but it was still a very very good DOS.

I agree, I wouldn't want it to totally disappear.

WayBack has the EDR-DOS website archived, IIRC. Non-commercial only, more or less only kernel and shell, but it's still better than nothing.

Then again, no offense, just use FreeDOS (1.3rc3 from May 31). :-D
