In DOS version 5, another mode of operation was added: specifying a single filename on the command line would cause the program to test all the disk sectors used to store the file, and shorten the file by omitting sectors which tested bad.

It added support for the FAT32 file system and logical block addressing (LBA), and was the last version that could boot to the command line from a hard disk.
