Well, it seems I have started something here.  Whatever it is, it does NOT
belong in comp.unix.wizards.  I would recommend following up to comp.os.cpm or
comp.sys.ibm.pc.  Since I don't read those groups, I won't be able to join in
the fun (ugh).  Feel free to e-mail me your refutations, if you like.
