i know... i've been running it since v2.11 was released ;)

and i /still/ run my main operation on OS/2... these days it is eCS (eCom
Station) instead of my old reliable Warp 3 Connect which lasted the longest
of any OS i've ever run... i hope to find the time somewhere to resurrect
it... i don't know what sort of corruption twisted it up but something did
for the first time since it was ever installed :(

mark?? did you mean ed or holger??

the MS site reference for hpfs is understandable... i was only saying that
i thought it was doubtful that ntfs.com would discuss hpfs to any great
detail...
