       "CHKDSK /F"
            May count the last sector of a disk as bad.  I've looked at the
       routine have not found the reason for the 'bug'.  It does not affect
       performance but may make you look twice!

       TREE
            Tree does not show the FLOPPY subdirectories.  I tried to add code
       to do this but at present there is less than 1K (1024 bytes) of memory
       left in the entire command line area.  So until space is made I will
       not try to fix the routine.

       "COPY *"
            The copy command sometimes tries to copy a file, fails, then
       somehow "forgets" to notify you of the error.  For the safest copying
       it is advisable to use Clint Pulley's Directory Manager.

       HFDC FLOPPY FORMATTING
            Under GPL and EXEC formatting floppies connected to the HFDC
       will almost never work when the HFDC is at >1000 and a floppy controller
       is in the system.

(More bugs reported by Jim Uzzel - have not had a chance to look into these)

       CALL DISTANCE and CALL COINC _XOP_ routines return incorrent values.

       CALL FILES() in Advanced BASIC reports an erroneous BYTE size when
       programs larger than 32K are catalogged.  (VERIFIED 7/10/96, the catalog
       routine in Adv.BASIC is displaying a signed 16-bit number, so the largest
       displayable byte size is 32767.  This fix would have to be made to
       Advanced BASIC, not MDOS).

       CALL KEY() in Advanced BASIC.  If Mode 4 is used then a switch is made t
       to 0,1, or 2 some values values below 33 and above 126 are corrupted.
       If you use mode 4 you must switch to 3 or 5 before using 0,1, or 2.
