ASSIGN There are no known problems. *
V1.0
BDOS 1 At the CCP level, typing K:<return>, where K is * * *
V2.2 a non-existent disk, causes the "BDOS SELECT"
message to appear, but a control-C then results
in the K> prompt.
2 FFFF in "max" field of code group descriptor * * *
causes faulty allocation; it should allocate
all of available memory.
3 During BIOS SELDSK does not set bit 0 of DL to * * *
0 if the first access of the drive is a
simple default drive switch.
4 Function 59 does not work properly. *

CONFIG There are no known problems. *
V1.0
COPYDISK There are no known problems. *
V1.5
COPYDISK There are no known problems. * *
V2.0

V1.1 go into trace mode.
2 Files are not closed after an R or E command, * *
even if an error occurs.
3 IN AL,0 and IN AX,0 are disassembled as * *
the same command.

V2.0 not create resultant file on B: as the manual
says.
2 nJ string .... does not function properly, * * *
WORKAROUND: J command works if the "n" parameter
is omitted.
FUNCTION There are no known problems. *
V1.0
-
GENCMD 1 Cannot build 64K segments; * * *
WORKAROUND: Limit segments to 62K
2 Certain .H86 records can cause erroneous .CMD * * *
file to be built.
GENDEF 1 Hangs on certain input files. *
HELP There are no known problems. * * *
V1.1
HDMAINT There are no known problems. *
V1.0
LMCMD 1 Hangs on certain input files. *
PIP 1 Sending large file to CON: or LST: creates * * *
temporary $$$ file on disk.
2 Concatenating console input with an exiting * * *

WORKAROUND: Pip filename1 = con:
then Pip file3 = filename1,file 2
