Subject: DOS bugs. (was: FA: Altera PLD programmer, Motorola HYPERmodules ...)
Well, I dont know if you could call it a bug, but I once had an experience which I could
have lived without (which I obviously do today). I needed to sort a textfile where each
record was 256 bytes. I had to give up, as SORT only could sort records up to 250
bytes....

I'm
ambivalent about MS-DOS.
There were some parts of it that I really liked.
It helped that the bug count was so low.
I don't know that there were any bugs at all with the DOS'es.
Q: Were there any bugs in DOS?
