	They fixed the bugs a while ago... the new release is 4.01
(although the PC version still identifies as 4.00).  Even DOS 3.3 (3.2, 3.1...)
still has *SOME* bugs... as does 4.01.... but the *big* ones that bit some
people early have supposedly been fixed... 

I believe the bugs had to do with using the BUFFERS in expanded memory.
