Does it use fcbs? This screws up early versions of WordStar in the Windows
DOS box - could DR-DOS have removed full support for them - the symptoms are
the same, you can create a file, but can't then go back and change it.
Another possibility is disk partition size, it may not like big disks.

Cheers
Mike
