Hello,
I've played a bit with the MSDOS filesystem and found that when it scans a directory, it doesn't stop on first entry starting with zero byte, which causes it to show invalid files on some not so cleanly formatted disks. I'm not pretty sure it's OK to have garbage after the first empty directory entry, but the DOS itself permits it, allowing implementors of disk utilities to misuse it. Any ideas?
Martin
