There are a number of question regarding just what are the
bugs in PC-DOS 4.00. IBM does supply a fix-disk to upgrade
PC-DOS 4.00 to 4.01. On these disks (three in all) there is
a README document that lists these bugs. This is that README file:
Summary of Corrective Service Information for DOS 4.00
