On the merits of FASTOPEN:

	>> DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND! <<

FASTOPEN is a half-ass attempt at disk caching, only caching file names
and their locations.  It will seriously mess with your disk, and I've
recommended in that last three DOS books I've written that no one
should use FASTOPEN.

Some dealers will use INSTALL to setup FASTOPEN in CONFIG.SYS, especially
on DOS 4 systems.  Remove it.  Also, if you've ever experienced any
problem with DOS insisting you always use the same floppy diskette,
blame FASTOPEN..
