No corrupt files anymore

I just thought I'd mention that when running my same dbf applications on MS-DOS (in the old days), we would regularly have the problem of corrupt file headers, and we'd have to run special "fix" utilities to fix dbf headers and align records.  We've never had this problem running the (mostly) similar applications in vDOS.  I don't know if it's the new hardware or vDOS.  But it's really nice to have totally stable, dependable, good looking DOS applications.  Many thanks to everyone who created vDOS!

I suspect corruption was once caused by one or more workstations caching disk operations.
Eventually compromising the initiated sequential order of database updates.

For instance first WS1 modifies a data file, then WS2.
WS2 could however rely on outdated data, of before the modifications of WS1.
Or the cache of WS2 is committed to disk before that of WS1 is.
