Back then, there were varieties - MS-DOS, IBM-DOS, etc. I remember I had to ask some of the REAL veterans about it even back then. A couple of them remembered it from the very early days of PC operating systems.

It's been a while so I don't remember if there were any differences other than who had the rights to sell each version, but I vaguely remember asking him about it and seem to remember it could do some things he needed that the other ones couldn't.

Would you know if the software has its roots before DOS? Maybe CPM?
