From: Billy <BRACKENRIDGE@USC-ISIB.ARPA> How do you expect anyone to respond when you put idiot addresses in your from field that no mailer can parse? Yes the floppy accesses are slower in DOS 2.1, but a few bugs have been fixed. Several messages in this issue of INFO-IBMPC outline some of the bugs that have been fixed in DOS 2.1 and later. DOS 3.0 also runs on a normal PC and should be even more solid than DOS 2.1 For example if you try to format your hard disk under DOS 3.0 it informs you that you are attempting to format a hard disk and do you really want to do so. Of course the operating system is larger as it must support some of the AT features as well. -------
