There's a W95 utility (freeware, I think) that will scan the VFAT drive(s) 
and create a batch file that will restore them when you run it.  Just back up 
that along with the rest of the files.  Look for something like LFN in the 
utility file name.

Isn't there still some uncompressed stuff to be careful of in the "real" W95 
partition?    TTYL -=- Dave
