SYMPTOMS
When you display the contents of a file using the TYPE command, garbage is
displayed after the contents of the file are displayed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when a ^Z character is positioned one byte past an
integral multiple of 512 (for example, the byte at position 513 or 1025 in
a file is ^Z).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1,
3.5, and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
