What are you talking about?  That doesn't seem at all correct to me.

If you have don't REM this line in Config.sys and Autoexce.bat
---
SET DELDIR=C:\DELETE,512;D:\DELETE,512;E:\DELETE,512;F:\DELETE,512;
---
then there is no difference between FAT and HPFS for recovering the last 512K
of deleted files, using what comes with Warp.

OTOH many users like me do have that REM (because normal operation is faster)
and still have no problem recovering deleted files from all HPFS, using a 3rd
party util such as Graham Utilities hpfs-ud.exe.

While I can think of a lot of reasons to use HPFS rather than FAT, I can not
think of any good reason to use FAT rather than HPFS.

Now if you had been (but weren't) talking about JFS of Aurora, then that would
have been different.  I'm still waiting to see what Chris Graham or JdeBP come
up with as far as utilities for Aurora.  But then again, Aurora or WSeB is
Server (only so far) so it's not a problem a newbie should be concerned about.

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
