IBM ROM BASIC or lack thereof - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

 I just did a search in win95 for basic (this is a fresh
install of win95,
...
 so no other software has been added)... and there are
NO matches. Going
to a command line and typing Qbasic give a "bad command or file name" as
I would expect since find found nothing. 
the standard install does not copy it to the disk.  Check the CDrom as
it's there
in a seperate directory.
...
 WinME has the same results. I can't test 98 or NT 4
or 5 from home, so I
can't say what is on them, but I would guess the same thing (nothing). 
It's also on my NT4/server, Nt4/workstation, 98 and 98se none of which
install it automagically.  it can be installed on W2000 from what I've
been
told but again it's a manual install.
