I have  three different versions of AR.  1.2, 1.3, and 2.0.  I know
ONE was supposed to be an experimental, "do not use" version that got
used anyway, but I don't remember which one. :-(  I also have a
BASIC-09 utility that converts (I think) 1.3 files to 1.2.

The MSDOS version may be for the older version files?
