Referring to the Subject:, all I would say is that these messages are
nothing to worry about - but a better question would look like :
Is DOS 6.0 safe with dblspace ?
NO ! One glitch/power fail/rabid program and your dos partition is toast !
dblspace directories are context sensitive. The best statement I heard about
it was ( in Compu$erve ) :
"dblspace is a software solution to a hardware problem - better buy
another hard disk..."
