I found this message on our local (Chicago) IBM-PC electronic bulletin board system (312-882-4228) yesterday and thought that those on the net might be interested. --- Msg # 573 Date entered: 01-17-1984 17:15:27 From: ANDREW PICKENS To: ALL About: NEW DOS 2.0 FILES IBM Product Centers and dealers have updated versions of DOS 2.0 COMMAND.COM and FORMAT.COM files from IBM, dated 10/20/83. These updates are officially to solve a problem experienced by some in formatting fixed (hard) disks. The centers/dealers will copy the new files on DOS 2.0 system disks brought to them. On the basis of one try, at least on other well-known problem, that of DATE not rolling over at midnight, appears to be fixed in the new version of COMMAND.COM. I have also found one inconsistency with existing programs--MONOCLOCK will toggle on, but will not toggle off with the new version. ---- [I have not tried getting copies of these updates, but plan to soon. If anyone on the net tries, let us know how you make out.] -- Daniel M. O'Brien AT&T Bell Laboratories IH 1C-202 Naperville, IL 60566 ....!ihuxj!dob
