My understing is that that was part of the reason for all the frantic
last-minute programming--they had to reconstruct what they'd lost before
the show opened.

I've never seen one myself.  I did once see a DOS manual that obviously
predated the DOS 3.2 manual, but I never saw the disk that went with it.
The only thing I know about DOS 3.0 and DOS 3.1 is what it says at the
beginning of _Beneath_Apple_DOS_, which isn't much.

I have a DOS 3.2 manual, and a couple of DOS 3.2.1 disks, and a comparison
of the manual's examples to the disks' CATALOGs makes it obvious that the
manual documents an earlier disk.

I'm not sure, but I think there may be a photograph of a DOS 3.2 disk
somewhere in the DOS 3.2 manual.
