The reason for the volume of the dosread.c discussion is that the original 
posting was cross-posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc.  So everyone there is getting
bent outta shape over AST's reply which also got cross-posted, probably 
unknowingly.  This reply of no DOS interest to a mainly DOS related group 
caused a lot of eye raising.
