It's possible that the IFS might try to do this under the covers, but
dfsee would not do this without prompting you.

Beware of old wives tales. More than likely you have an intermitted
hardware problem.

Saveto is what you want to use.

You may have forgotten to select a volume first. This works
part d:
\config.sys
saveto e:\tmp
This will save config.sys to e:\tmp\config.sys. To get past the bad
spots, you will need to tell dfsee how to handle errors so it does not
just give up.
>Should I just download 7.15 and using it during its evaluation period?
You should download it and register it. 3.4 will work, but if you run into
userland problems, don't expect me to remember how it differs from
reasonably current versions. :-)
