	I have recently purchased  MS-DOS 3.0 from Compaq and I have a
couple of questions.  First, how can I tell if my copy already has the
backup/restore bug patched or not? I have made a couple of trial
backup - restore sequences with full success, is this a sufficient
demonstration of correctness, or is the bug intermittent?

	Second, the format utility that came with it has a strange
bug.  After it finishes formatting a diskette it hangs the system,
forcing me to reboot.  Luckily, I still have the DOS 2.1 disk that
came with my system and copied the format utility off of it, and it
works. It is also about 25% smaller, so I suspect it is lacking
something the newer version has. Anyone have any ideas on this?
