	A lot of disk space is disappearing on me lately.

	First I thought a dreaded disease had struck my system,
but I think not.

	Lately, I have been doing three new things.

	a)using the 5 1/4" 1.2 meg mitsubishi on the 8" controller
	b)using masm, debug and link a lot
	c)using Freemacs

	The problem shows up going on somewhere between
editing assembling and linking, then (exiting) to the editor again.
	I'm still not sure when it happens, but suddenly, in the
midst of these actions, two to three hundred kbytes are suddenly
lost to my disk. CHKDSK always fixes this.
	Sometimes, for no apparent reason the assembler quits
in the middle of a pass, wedging the computer as well.

	Any ideas?
	MSDOS 3.1, link and debug, masm ver 1.07 ala ZDOS 1(?)
	Freemacs ver1.5 beta (recently posted to simtel)
