Hey. Thanks for your work. Anything to patch bugs in the "original" O/S is worthwhile i think!

Two questions:

1) Later tonite, i can test IBM PC-DOS 7.1 (the 2003 update with FAT32 support) and IBM PC-DOS 2000 (actually, just the 7.0 from 1998 with Y2K fixes -- no FAT32 support). This might be useful, as IBM PC-DOS must be *very* close to M$ MS-DOS, having diverged, IIRC, at 6.0. Still, they must share much of the same coding -- i can't imagine that IBM would do a total re-write.

2) Other than WRAPPER.SYS, what is the patch useful for? Or maybe i should ask, other than WRAPPER, what does the "bug" mess up?

- Doug
