This is a problem with ddir, which was recently posted to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc -- I'm running DOS 2.11:

Output of the regular dir command:

 Volume in drive D is  HARD RAM   
 Directory of  D:\

BIN          <DIR>      3-03-88   8:55a
LIB          <DIR>      3-03-88   8:56a
AUTOEXEC BAT      159   3-26-88   9:47a
CONFIG   SYS       71   3-25-88   6:17p
TMP          <DIR>      3-03-88   9:06a
SYS          <DIR>      3-03-88  10:21a
WORK         <DIR>      3-04-88   3:42p
        7 File(s)    184320 bytes free

Control characters removed to protect your terminals -- suffice it
to say that the "Volume" header screwed up the first two lines of
real directory listing output royally.  Does this thing work correctly
on later versions of DOS only?
