Ye Olde DOS 3.1
I noticed some interesting and unusual stuff about DOS 3.1...
* MASTER.CREATE doesn't actually do anything but BRUN RAWDOS.
The UPDATE 3.2 program is very different from this MASTER.CREATE but
almost identical to the newer MASTER CREATE from DOS 3.3.
* RAWDOS has a bizarre side effect: if you catalog the disk after
running RAWDOS, it will catalog TWICE.
* Make sure INTBASIC is loaded before trying to BOOT13 DOS 3.1! The
master disk will get caught in an infinite loop trying to load HELLO.
