re why i m not using dos anymore eliza tigern elisabeth bull writes mark woodruff cda ucf vm bitnet wrote this morning at am while i was working on my research paper i had to reboot a hung dos program that did no disk i o from within windows when my machine finished rebooting i found my windows directory and about two thirds of my other directories were irreversibly corrupted stuff deleted this sounds like what happened to my hd a month ago my hd was stacked with stacker v i run dos suddenly everything hung up and most of the hd got corrupted directories changed into unreadable files with funny names in other words it is probably just the doubledisk part of dos that is troublesome i now use stacker v and so far i have had no trouble this pretty much confirms my original impression after reading through the documentation on dos the double space sounds nice but not on your primary disk i ll probably wind up making a disk partition d and doublespacing it using it as an archive probably would be useful on floppy disks as well but on c uh uh i particularly disliked the note that said something like double space is irreversible cindy cindy tittle moore internet tittle ics uci edu bitnet cltittle uci bitnet uucp ucbvax ucivax tittle usnail po box irvine ca
