subject: Fat 16 or 32?

This happened to pop up when I am fooling around with my old
 Open dos disk. Installed it on a compact flash. Boots up nice in
 a USB adapter.

 CBvN>My Drdos disk got damaged and cannot be used anymore. I

 CBvN>what is the big difference, what should I install and what
 CBvN>are the draw backs.

 If you want I can get you Open Dos. It is the later incarnation
 of DR Dos.

 CBvN>I am still looking at Enhanced Dos. Never really

 CBvN>start with enhanced? How?

 I am not familiar with Enhanced Dos. I will be watching for
 replies also.
