I am having a problem with my 6300+ that I think is in the MSDOS SORT command.

First, I am using an AT&T 6300+ with AT&T MS-DOS 3.2 release 1.0.
What I am trying to do is sort an ascii file using the sort routine
from a shell call in microsoft QuickBasic 2.0

Specifically, the command line looks like this:

SORT SORTED

where temp is the input file and sorted is the sorted results.

The problem I am experiencing is that every second or third time I
run the program, SORTED does not contain the complete record
received from TEMP.

Some additional information,  I have two additional memory boards
for a total of 5 meg of memory.  I have tried disabling the additional
4 meg and have the same results.

Anybody have any suggestions, comments, similar experiences???
I need this program and must find a way around this.
