What were you trying to do?
I typed 'dosdir' at the athena prompt in one xterm while a doswrite
process was in progress in another xterm.
What's wrong:
The contents of the diskette were completely cleaned out!
What should have happened:
I expected the files on the diskette to be listed when I did dosdir
even though the doswrite was in progress. Or at least the dosdir
should have failed since doswrite was in progress. But it cleaned
the disk out! Arggh!
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
??
Note: I would VERY MUCH appreciate your responding to this message in
SOME way. I notice that bug reports get submitted without any kind
of acknowledgement.
