Well....I started out with Dos 3.2, then 3.3 and am now using 4.01.
I have NEVER had any problems with LABEL, in fact I often change, for example,
the label on my HD without any 'screw-ups'. Let's face it, all OS's have some
bugs, it's just that amiga hacks like to spread rumors about 'bugs' in Ms-Dos -
well they do over here!!
As for losing data.....I've been using PC's for nearly 3 years now, and
have NEVER LOST DATA due to bugs in Dos or otherwise. I don't know if there
are any lists of Dos bugs going around, but if so, I'd love to get one!!
John.
