I seem to remember some discussion about bugs in BACKUP/RESTORE on PCDOS
version  3. I  looked  back  but  can't  find it. I now want to use this
version of DOS (I got it some time ago but  for  various  reasons  never
started  using it). Could some kind soul please let me have a summary of
the info (if it isn't too long, it might be worth posting it anyway).

Specifically:

    * What are the symptoms of the bug?

    * Are there any patches etc? Do dealers have any (esp. in the UK?)

    * Is it fixed in 3.10?

Thanks,
--
