        I've just read in another OS/2 conference that Win95's VFAT
uses the same area to store a pointer to the long filename as OS/2's
EAs.  If that is really the case, then dual booting Win95 and OS/2
is definitely to be avoided since Win95 would always screw up OS/2's
EAs, a situation that you definitely do not want to get into.
