³I liked that PC software used to come with manuals, as I enjoyed looking
³through manuals to learn about the software.  One of my fond memories of MS-DOS
³(and 90s computer stuff in general) was getting a copy of MS-DOS 6 and looking
³through its manual..  It seemed like they really tried to make the manual easy
³to read and follow.  I remember the back (outer) page of the manual having a
³car navigating a street going in a bit of a loop..

Maybe it was because I was in the business of upgrading PCs back then and
maybe only saw the "upgrade to 6.x" packages but my memory of the 6.x
manuals was that they were not near as thick, or detailed, as the 5.0
manual I had received with my 386dx-40 home system.
 
My recollection is that they were better than some of the manuals that came
with later software... like Windows XP... but were not going to help
someone learn DOS commands like the 5.0 book would have.
