[How I love eating up Index entries in computer manuals]

Well, after getting a response from IBMs BBS in Boca Rotan, I found
out that the CONFIG.SYS command, STACKS, is located in Appendix B.
I failed to look in the Table Of Contents, as I did not expect a section
of its own.  I didn't find it in the Index, where I did expect an entry.

Oh how I love computer manuals, they are NEVER right.

Speaking of PC-DOS 3.20, did anyone notice the dates of the 3.20 files
on page 175 of PC Week, April 29, 1986?  They are 3-18-86, except for a
file called EXDSKBIO.DRV, which was 8-15-85.  Here is the problem, my
PC-DOS 3.20 diskette has dates of 12-30-85 and doesn't even have the file
EXDSKBIO.DRV.  Anybody else have PC-DOS 3.20 and have different dates?
