Subject: PUBlic swipes files! Help!

I have installed the PUBlic (1.0) patch described in Dr. Dobbs and find many
files dissapear when using a patched system!  DU informas me that the missing
files are those which follow the first erased FCB in the directory, leading
me to believe the patched "Find Next" BDOS call is quitting when it finds
a single E5H, instead of the "high water mark", a whole FCB of E5H's.

Comparison with the published listing shows my patch is identical (I think).
Has anyone else experienced this?  Does v1.1 fix this as well as the multiple
extent problem mentioned, or does v1.1 only apply to the PUBLIC utility?
Or perhaps this patch only works with contiguous directory entries? (ugh!)
