Believe it or not, IBM has released a 2-disk fix for (some of) the bugs
in DOS 4.0.  A copy went by my desk last week, but I didn't look too closely
at it since I don't run it (yet).  The disk contained a file which has a
long list of what is supposedly fixed.

In theory you can get the fix from any authorized IBM dealer.  If you work at
(or know someone at) a shop with ASKINFO access, you can get IBM to ship the
fix diskette for local duplication and distribution.

IBM is supposedly now shipping DOS 4.1 (or maybe 4.01; I'm not sure) which
fixes some of the problems without requiring the fix diskette.  Ask your 
friendly neighborhood dealer.
