     Look for DOS33NuVrsn.zip on Asimov or GSWV:

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/incoming/
http://www.grin.net/~cturley/a2zine/System/

It looks like a pretty good bet to be 'the last DOS 3.3'.


     Evidently, the last officially announced DOS 3.3 release was the one that
accompanied the arrival of the IIe in January of 1983. (Sometimes, it's called
"DOS 3.3e".)

     It is not clear why Apple did not change the numbering (e.g. "DOS 3.3.3"
would have been neat).  Maybe they figured the changes were too minor to count.

     In any case, it is clear that there were changes after the Jan 1983
release. My guess is that Apple stopped diddling DOS 3.3 about the time ProDOS
was released; but, I do not know for sure.
