- echo │ "Fatal stack error / System halted". This message is │
- echo │ caused by the fact that DOS has not provided enough │

- echo │ 2. Insert your backup of DOS (created in step 1) into │
- echo │ the B drive. │
- echo │ 3. Insert the fix diskette into drive A: │
- echo │ 4. Execute the install program by entering the command │
- echo │ "A:INSTALL B:". │
- echo │ 5. When finished remove diskettes from drives, label │
- echo │ your new dos diskette appropriately (so that you │
- echo │ know that this diskette has the required fixes │
- echo │ applied). │
- echo │ ONE DRIVE SYSTEM │
- echo │ Follow above step eliminating step 3. System will │
