I was in MS_DOS 4.x and 5.x, I rember quite clearly using it.
however MS was adding and subtracting all kinds of things in 6.x do to
law suits etc.
also OEM versions wer often 'adjusted' to include the OEM's pet
little programs and occasionaly some thing non-criticle got left out
(especially if the OEM felt it didn't apply to the computer they were
selling, and could cut back on the number of floppies they had to
ship per computer by leaving out a couple 'not needed' items)
usually with notice you could get the missing parts from thier or MS's
bbs this OEM version thing where parts are left out happens even more
with windows(shipped on floppy), if the oem isn't shipping a printer
or modem you must obviously not need any printer or modem drivers or
anything
requiring them. And of course any such you buy will have everything you
need.
