i've been running the universal flavor of allfix for many years... my
system is OS/2 Warp 3 Connect with hpfs drives... i make sure that i load a
module so that the 2gig overflow stuff is hidden from DOS programs...
however, this doesn't work on the OS/2 side so i've always run my allfix
from the DOS side...

so, i've had a problem for a long time where allfix would tell me that it
could not move a file due to lack of drive space... however, if i manually
removed the duplicate that would be replaced, then the allfix would
properly move the new file to where it needed to be... it has been
frustrating enough that i was just going to turn off some of the areas that
this happens in all the time... yeah, i did turn off space checking in the
setup but it didn't help...

then the other day i found the command line option -NoSpaceChk and was
quite surprised to find that it works! YAY!!! no more full BADTICS
directory and the files are properly moved...

the strange thing is that the configs are set (via setup) to not check
drive space and REPLACE is allowed... so i don't understand why it was
telling me no space on destination when it should not have even been
looking... possibly an erroneous error message? it should maybe have been
another one?

either way, i wanted to share the news that i finally fixed a problem i've
had for a decade or better and just never really talked about out here :)
