Hi Dave,
The trouble you are having sounds pretty normal for Dinkydown software.
Serves you right for using such rubbish. I still use IBM DOS 6.1 here and
never have any troubles. With DOS I'm in control of my PC, not some mob of
nerds in Redmond. Hi.
p.s. Try using a DOS 5.0 FORMAT.COM ...you might be lucky.
