          TITLE:  COPYING ZERO BYTE FILES
   DOCUMENT ID#:  FYI-M-1107
           DATE:  10FEB93
        PRODUCT:  DR DOS 
PRODUCT VERSION:  6
     SUPERSEDES:  N/A

        SYMPTOM:  UNABLE TO COPY ZERO BYTE FILES

  ISSUE/PROBLEM:  Until recently, the ability to copy zero byte
files was a feature of DR DOS.  It is not possible to copy zero
byte files if you have down loaded a COMMAND.COM dated later than
4/7/92. 

       SOLUTION:  Zero byte files can be copied with a
COMMAND.COM dated 4/7/92 or earlier.  This change has been made
for compatibility purposes.

           NOTE:  The latest COMMAND.COM is available via
CompuServe or the Novell DSG Host BBS at 408-649-3443.
