I noticed this too... or, at least, I noticed that desdocs3.doc got trashed.
I didn't connect it with the autoboot maker, although that is consistent with
what I observed.  My solution: download the archive with all the docs in it
again.  Probably a better solution: run the autoboot maker on a blank disk,
then copy all the DesTerm files over to it.
