I need to get a copy of DOS 6.22 or older. I have got old software for a Plant control systems that cant run in Win 98 95 or newer. the disk that I have for my dos recover are bad. Floppys dont last forever. (13 Years old ) Any help would be great...


cbDue to copyright problems (MS retains the copyright to MS-Dos) it is probably against the forum rules to advise you about this on an open forum. E-mail???Would it be WRONG to give someone software if it no longer installed or being used?
I have DOS 6.22..... somewhere around here and it's not installed. When you first bought your copy of Dos.6.22 you would have received a licence to use it i.e. install it on your pc for your use. The EULA would have barred you from on-selling it or providing/giving it to a third party thereby DENYING the seller (MS) another sale. However now MS does not distribute standalone MS-Dos in any form so its a very grey area. MS retains the copyright to MS-Dos in all versions.

There has been a lot said on VARIOUS forums about copyright issues and in some cases I understand MS has waved the BIG stick resulting in several forum members, who have directed others to download sites, being banned. I think it may be the forums way of saying "OK big brother, please don't blame me". PERHAPS I'm totally wrong on this one.

Maybe our worthy moderator would clarify the CH policy on posting links to copyright materials.
