Thank you all for your input. Sorry for the delay, had to repair my
wife's car. Anyway I needed a hex editor that would work on fat32.
Found uhex.zip. It is part of the freedos family of programs. Per
suggestion, I changed the 5th byte (byte 4) from 04 to 05 assuming that
the added record did not get updated in the header. Nope. Changed it to
03, assuming that the record never got added to the file. That was it.
I got the error of no cdx file (I had deleted it) and all was well. Byte
4 is the least significant character in the record count.
Thank you all,
John

Try to write 05 or 03 instead of 04 in byte n° 4 (beginning with 0)
