A work-around (in DOS 6.22 or "Command prompt only" mode of Win98)
for the bug in MicroSoft's MSCDEX module that skips files when using
dir *.*/s is to use the following replacement:

SHSUCDX.COM

It is in file SHCD300.ZIP which can be found at:

http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/Websites.html

The following line should be inserted into the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file in place of the MSCDEX line:

lh c:\utils\shsucdx.com /d:mscd000 /v /~

Notes:
c:\utils\ should be replaced by the actual location of the
shsucdx module.
The label mscd000 should be replaced by the label appearing
in the CD definition in the CONFIG.SYS file.
This doesn't work in a DOS window in Win98.
I don't have a newer version of Windows so I can't verify that
it works in those.

Thanks for that info Jack. :)

FYI - I've updated to v 5.0 of Karen's Directory Printer and I'm very
happy to report that it is now able to find all 360 "PL2005 CD" files.

Some system files were updated during the installation - I haven't
looked to see which ones yet. . .
