- As far as I can tell this has to do with the version of the DOS format
- command you used. We have had bad experiences with DOS 3.1, and Norton
- Utilities formats, but DOS 5.0 seems to work fine. I would guess that this
- is a NeXTSTEP 3.0 bug, but I use DOS floppies so little I haven't bothered to
- report it.
