Subject:	The bug in CHKDSK?

Hello all,

I found that CHKDSK in DR-DOS 7.02 seems to be buggy.
I tried to repair errors on my HD using CHKDSK /F and got
the strange message: "contains an invalid cluster.contains an invalid cluster.contains
an invalid cluster... over and over again repeated - instead the prompt
to save changes. Afterthem it corrected errors without prompt.
I got this effect several times. Please check CHKDSK for bugs. Unfortunatly,
I haven't free disks to experiments. Therefore I will replace it to its
version from Novell DOS. A question to Caldera: is this bug (if it exists) a simple
erratum or it is a result of the attempt to adapt this utility to long file names
(if this attempt was really?)?
