The PC that I have that came with DOS 3.3 and GWBASIC was also purchased in
late 1987, so that time frame is correct.  Unfortunately, it did not come with
a DOS manual.  I figured out how a lot of the utilities worked via trial and
error -- a few of those errors required a restore!  :O  :D

P.S.  The first DOS manuals I received were with the next machine, which ran
DOS 5.0.  IIRC, it was two books and one of them was really thick for a
paperback.  ;)
