Should be six spaces between, which is conveniently invalid input for LABEL
(mock shock).  I seem to recall substituting another character and using
Norton's or a hex editor to turn them into spaces as a separate step.

Be sure and disk image them also.  I have original disks for 3 different
versions of DOS and at least one disk is bad in each.  Even my image
backups were so old that they've either been lost or corrupted over the
years due to hard drive errors/failures.  So burn a few CD/DVD backups
also... :)
