Intel 5.4 2.0 and Xenix xcp package and DOS 4.01

[Ross Wakelin]

          WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!

The 2.0 release of INTEL's 5.4 product (otherwise known as the developers
release) does not support MushDOS 4.01 disk partitions.

I should have guessed this when the UNIX fdisk would not let me create
partitions greater than 30 megs.   Using the doscp function I copied a file
into the dos partition (D: which is actually C: as far as dos is concerned)
and it trashed my system file, and I had to re-sys the dos partition.  Had me
worried for a while when the dos partition would not boot after the copy.

dosdir also reports stupid figures for free space on the volume.

Makes you wonder what will happen when (?) MushDos 5 appears????!!!??!?!?!?
