Where are your file ?

1) A DOS partition with VP/IX access....
   This should work and there must be a bug.

2) A UNIX file system with DOS files on it....
   Hmm... I wonder if this would EVER work .. there is no archive bit
   to SET on a UNIX file system (unless they arent telling me something
   here at the labs).

3) The "Emulated DOS HD" in a file thing...
   It should work there as well.
