I just tried to do a DOS FC (file compare) and got the message "Extended error 2" When I format a virgin 1.2mb floppy on one machine I get Extended error 4 but it formats find on the other machine. Maybe I missed something but where are these errors documented. I didn't see anything in the DOS 5 book. Thanks in advance... Don Rubin rubin@visual1.jhuapl.edu
