RF> I'm making a DOS program that will run under DOS and OS/2. RF> The only problem I have is that the information about the RF> cluster size of a HPFS partition always comes wrong... Probably because HPFS doesn't have clusters. (-: RF> So, does anybody knows how can I identify a HPFS partition RF> from a DOS program running under OS/2 in a window or full-screen RF> session? HPFS has "." and ".." entries in the root directory. FAT does not. This is not foolproof, because other filesystems, such as LAN Server and CDFS, also have such entries. Basically this is a FAT detection method, rather than an HPFS detection method. ¯ JdeBP ® --- FleetStreet 1.16 NR* Origin: JdeBP's point, using Squish (2:440/4.3) SEEN-BY: 50/99 54/99 270/101 620/243 625/160 711/401 413 430 934 712/311 407 SEEN-BY: 712/505 506 517 623 624 704 713/317 800/1 @PATH: 440/4 141/209 270/101 712/624 711/934 |
