I made up a boot floppy from the DOS disk created and it boots OK. 
However, while it appears normal it's very flaky. For instance, Qedit 
can't update a file it's edited, ending up with the original file gone,
but a weirdly named (temporary ?) file remaining. The 7.05 command.com 
looks OK, but one of those 7.04 IBM... files is suspect, but I haven't 
tried to identify which.

Alex.
