This one is right.  Back in MSDOS days we knew that verify didn't actually 
test that the data was written correctly either.  In Batpower forum on 
Fidonet there was discussion of batch files and command.com galore.

A MUF V1.7 file exists from Mr Bat Lang in that forum and explaining the

It was great fun then too.
