The DOS 2.0 COMMAND.COM has a bug in it that makes
the exec call fail.  There is a patch available but
if you have a program that uses the patched COMMAND.COM
and then it gets moved to a new disk it will no longer work.  
Most people write the name of the next program to the keyboard
typeahead buffer and then exit to DOS.  This has the
advantage of working for both DOS 1.1 and 2.0.
