Further investigation points to an interaction with WPHD, a hard disk
protection program. I haven't tried with a pure 2-floppy system and
won't (since I don't have one :-). Relax, Chuck. It seems to be a nice
program, thanks for posting it. When I saw the write error (just before
running off to a meeting) I figured better safe than sorry so posted a
warning.

My apologies to anyone unduly alarmed.

I'll tell you when I'm giving you the party line. The rest of the time
it's my very own ravings (accept no substitutes).
