Yep, thatīs what I suspect as well, although it would be
very unusual... XDIR /C will display the CRCs.

Yes, this is true for MS-DOS/PC DOS, but not for DR-DOS,
where they both come from the same pool of HANDLES (MEM /A).
DR-DOS will always report FCBS=1 in SYSVARs, no matter what
value you use for CONFIG.SYS FCBS=. So, under DR-DOS FILES=20
FCBS=4 is identical to FILES=23 FCBS=1 or FILES=10 FCBS=14.
