SYMPTOMS
========
When you upgrade to MS-DOS 6.22 from MS-DOS 6.0 on an uncompressed system, the
DBLSPACE.BIN file in the root directory is not updated. The files DBLSPACE.EXE,
DBLSPACE.HLP, and DBLSPACE.SYS located in the DOS directory are also not
updated.
CAUSE
=====
This occurs because the DBLSPACE.BIN file is in the root directory rather than
the DOS directory.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem:
- Re-expand DBLSPACE.BIN to the DOS directory.
-or-
- Transfer the system files back to drive C by using the MS-DOS 6.0 boot disk
and typing "sys a: c:" (without the quotation marks). Copy the DBLSPACE.BIN
file to the DOS directory and then upgrade to MS-DOS 6.22.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This problem does not occur if DBLSPACE.BIN is NOT in the DOS directory on a
drive compressed using Compress In Place or Create New Drive.
