For what it's worth, the fsck_msdos in NetBSD (and the MSDOS 5.x
chkdsk) did not detect one case of file system corruption -- it was
described as two files referencing the same something-or-other --
which was detected and fixed by the Win95 install program when I
installed win95 on my DOS partition [1].  Does this ring any bells?

Windows..
