[comp.sys.ibm.pc] evdat*.sys files - what are they

wg@cbnewsm.ATT.COM (Bill Gieske) (01/17/90)

I discovered two files in C:\ - EVDAT1.SYS and EVDAT2.SYS.  Any idea as to what
created them and what they are for?

Brief background: I just bought up a 286 system, first under Digital Review's
DR DOS.  It had some problems (bugs), so I then upgraded to DOS 4.01.  I
ran FDISK and FORMAT on the disk, then restored from backup.  Thus, the files
could have been there from DR DOS, or could have been created by DOS.  Either
way, I yet have found no clues as to who created them and what they are for.
They are, by the way, hidden files (makes no difference, I guess).
