Many months ago, when I last looked at your DOS timeline, it did not include Wendin DOS. Recently, when cleaning my apartment, I found a letter from Wendin postmarked Oct 9, 1987. A copy of the letter is included below. Additional information about Wendin DOS can be found at: http://www.gensw.com/pages/about/stevej.htm That page describes the efforts of Steve Jones, president and chief technical officer of General Software. That company produces Embedded DOS-ROM, "a micro-footprint ROMmable MS-DOS workalike operating system". Carl C.
