Any fixes I should consider? Yes, there is a couple (yes, a couple) of patch diskettes for PC-DOS 3.20. I personally never ran across the errors, and I am using 3.5" diskette drives as well. Anyway, see your local IBM dealer for the patches. I just found out yesterday that IBM has released a patch for a patch. I discovered the new bug in the DISKCOPY program, that was patched, when I tried to do a 3.5" to 3.5" diskcopy. It would only copy the first 40 tracks. The original would copy all 80. So now IBM has released a patch that supposidly will fix the patch bug. I should be getting that in the mail in a couple of days. -- ihnp4------\ |------------------------| harvard-\ \ | terminus: | Mr. Video seismo!uwvax!nicmad!brown | The clearing house for | rutgers-/ / | rec.arts.drwho | decvax------/ |------------------------| terminus-----/
