I must admit I might not have the latest copies of every DRDOS utility
(I think I have 7.03 beta in most things, but I've downloaded
individual updated programs, and might have missed something).  So
forgive me if any of these issues are resolved already...

1. COMMAND.COM copy with wildcards creates copies of files with long
   names when the originals don't have long names.

2. Is it possible to change logname behaviour (other than shutting it
   off completely) so that..

dir | find "abc" > my.list
edit mylist

   does the expected thing (in other words the shortname for "my.list"
   should be "my.lis" optionally, especially in batch files.

3. Why are some system files locked so virus scanners cannot check
   IBMBIO.COM, etc on *any* drive? (Try running F-PROT).

4. Is TASKMGR able to use a swap file as well as RAM if it isn't in
   switcher mode?

5. The new FDISK is good, but after creating a FAT32 logical partition
   it calls that "D:" in its list and doesn't assign a drive letter to
   the real D: (FAT16 partition).

6. The (slightly) annoying thing with the new FDISK is having to type
  "19" to get to the next page... I wish ENTER or PgDn would do that job.

7. Has anybody found a version of (pk)unzip that works in DRDOS with 
   long names? (I think none of the PKUNZIP 2.5+ ones work with DRDOS).
