Your problem was that you `changed' floppies while you had a
file OPENed. There are words in the manual that sya if you
do this, your directory can get messed up. Now true, after
an error, maybe things shoudl be re-read, but what if you
have a program executing that had several files open on the
floppy at once. What happens in this case. So a word to the
`wise' is not to change disks in the middle of an operation.
Instead, restart it from the beginning.
