I agree with Jim Hartley. This is pretty much a nonissue. Dos isn't even supported by M$ any more as far as I know, and I've never heard of any case where M$ has gone after an individual for such a thing in the past anyway. Their only concern are large scale pirates selling on the black market or corporations doing *current* release software on a significant basis. They pretty much leave the individuals alone.
And I don't think anyone will ever mistake this place as a site for swapping of illegal software. This isn't anywhere near that class and to suggest that it might be is kind of edging over into the pinhead arena.
On another note, if I was going to share a copy of Dos it would be
version 7.10 because of it's superior memory management and stability. 7.10 was partially a response in 98 to gamer's claims of
incompatibilities in winblows with some of the more sophisticated Dos
games like Elder Scrolls Arena, Duke Nukem 3d and others. It was the
last best version of Dos.

I'm more concerned with the reputation of the list. If it earns a reputation as a place for swapping pirate copies of software, that might not be a Good Thing.
There has to be a way for the guy to get what he wants done without broadcasting a technical infringement of a copyright owned by a ten billion dollar potential adversary.
