Hiya Jerry,
 JL> Not true.  If the OS/2 partition is a logical drive (in an extended
 JL> partition), it can see the DOS partition.  And if the OS/2 partition
 JL> is FAT, DOS can see it. The only way they can't see each other is if
 JL> both are primary partitions.
Also not strickly true, if your os/2 drives or partitions are using the
HPFS file system then they CANT be seen from DOS. But you can use a
small dos program called IHPFS which allows to be able to see those
drives or partitions in DOS, although you can only read from them and
not write to them.
