The INSERT command in dBASE III Ver. 1.0 has a bug.  The command
does not update the end of file mark in the dBASE III file, but it does
update the record count in the dBASE III structure.  The result being,
that records that have been "INSERT"ed fall into the "great bit bucket
in the sky".

Ashton Tate recognizes the bug as a "catagory 1 anomaly", and gives the
following work-around:
	1.  APPEND a BLANK row to the table in use
	2.  CLOSE the DATABASE
	3.  USE the DATABASE
	4.  INSERT only one record

The technician I spoke with said that there would be a "fix" available
by October at the earliest.
