In AIX 4.3.3 when you issue the dosread or doswrite command or even
dosdir command
you get
xxx fatal error: line 852 file semafore.c: a system call received an
invalid paramter.

Even when you do not use parameters, or use parameters (examples in the
man pages) it still
gives the same error. You can do a tar or cpio to the floppy no
problem. Even if you format the floppy with a pc and then try it...or
from AIX...same error......
No errors in the errpt............suggestions besides 4.3.3.10?

Are you sure you have bos.dosutil at the correct maintenance level?

Type oslevel -l 4.3.3.0 to list filesets that are downlevel.

Also you may wish to uninstall bos.dosutil and reinstall it from the 4.3.3.0
media. Your problem sounds like one I had once when I upgraded AIX, but the
upgrade didn't automatically update _all_ installed filesets.
