While trying to analyze the "date not advancing at midnight" problem I
recently reported on my "turbo" XT clone (a Wugo PCII-AD from Sun Com-
puters Inc., running MS-DOS 3.2 and Award XT BIOS 2.03), I mentioned the
problem to a friend who is in the personal computer business.

As soon as he heard me say "MS-DOS 3.2", he said that 3.2 was well known
to be *so* full of bugs (including disk corruption problems!) that I'd
be extremely well advised to "downgrade" my system to MS-DOS 3.1 as soon
as I possibly could.

He said further that his company had declined an upgrade to MS-DOS 3.2,
preferring instead to wait until 3.21 comes out.

Comments, anyone?
