I have recently received Gulam v.1.03.05.05 from netlib@lakesys (thanks for the
service!) and in that version I found a bug that wasn't in the beta-test 
version:

	mv can destroy files!!!!  without any message whatsoever.

I found this problem when I was moving files from my hard disk to a reasonably
full floppy disk.  After the move, the floppy had zero space left and *all*
the files were deleted from the hard disk.  The problem is that not all the
files made it to the floppy!!  SO BEWARE!!!

The beta-test version (1.00....) did not have this bug.  Mv would abort when
the disk is full, and the files not *completely* transferred are deleted.

By the way, when will Gulam accept foreign language keyboards without one 
having to hack the GULAM.PRG file?  I still think that it's the best shell
around!  Keep up the good work.

As always, I don't yet (;-{) receive any of the newsgroups -- so reply directly
to me.  Thanks.
