Ok here is what I have encountered:

help doesn't find the man page entry for chgrp.  If you delete the
underscore, back space characters in the # tag line help will then
print the chgrp description.  What became of the examples: entries,
they disappeared.  Since help displays the man_pages on the screen
I think all line should be limited to 80 columns.

The man_page entry for dosdir says the new dosread.c now works on
drive C and D as will as drives A and B, so I tried it on and
empty subdirectory on drive C: and got the error message:
     I/O error: Error 0
This is on a machine which has a RLL disk on drive C, On a machine
which as a MFM disk on drive C, I could read the empty subdirector
just fine.

Next I tried it on drive D: (also a MFM disk) and got:
     DISK is not DOS Format
