Running Windows 3.0 on an IBM PS2 Model 80 (6Mb RAM, 44.5Mb FD, PCDOS 3.3),
when invoking the CHKDSK function with the /F parameter set, I get the fol-
lowing behavior:

	CHKDSK /F

	Volume is ...
	File A is cross linked on cluster n.
	File B is cross linked on cluster n.

I have not been able to find documentation of this in my DOS manual.  Is it
bad?  Does anyone *know* what it means?  Does anyone *know* why it is happen-
ing?
