i once used a dos mv utility (*not* copy) on a mounted DOS partition
and had that kind of fun with it too, it munged the dos filesystem.
i *strongly* suggest not to mount dos partitions unless you must have
one for running programs that don't work under vp/ix.
it's much better to simply have the dos files on the unix filesystem,
and it's much faster too. security is another issue (try to set group
permissions in the dos filesystem...).
