From: John Hawkinson <jhawk@MIT.EDU>

System name:		coleco-sidewinder.mit.edu
Type and version:	Sun-Blade-100 9.0.23 (with mkserv)
Display type:		ifb

Shell:			/bin/sh (/bin/athena/tcsh?)
Window manager:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	Copy files off of a DOS floppy.

What's wrong:
	pcfs doesn't show some files that are visiable with mtools.
	It also reports IO errors while copying.

Details:

  (note the errors, and the zero files in the M subdir)

Copying the files from the 2M directory on the floppy to the 'z' subdirectory
with mtools, I notice:

This is somewhat disturbing.
