DosQueryFSInfo is not a REXX internal function, nor is it part of the 
REXXUTIL dynamic link library.  

What I did was write a REXX program that scans the drive, and reports how 
much space is being wasted by files, or would be if the opposite file 
system was used.  Even if I wasn't using REXX, it would be of no use when 
calculating what the cluster size *would* be on a HPFS drive.

So far, no one has answered my questions with any clarity.  Does anyone 
know what the cluster size for a FAT volume would be between 16MB and 64MB?
