Hi Holger--

ML>HPFS. Since I have no desire to use Zip Diskettes formatted HPFS, I
ML>haven't bothered to see if a later (or earlier) FixPak will restore
ML>that ability.

    That paragraph does not mention the Zip Drive diskettes!  Also, it
says that the described fix was instituted in FixPak 6.  So, I installed
(on a temporary basis) all the HPFS-related files from  FixPak 6, but I
still couldn't format a 100 MB Zip diskette HPFS.  Since I had previous
poor experience with FixPak 6 (and had therefore reverted to FixPak 5),
I removed all the newly installed files and returned to their earlier
versions.

    As I mentioned before, a few experiences with Zip diskettes
formatted HPFS (made under Warp 3, FixPak 5) were sufficient to convince
me that I did not wish to live under the restrictions.  So I really
don't care that some FixPak-introduced bug prevents me from so
formatting them now.

    Regards,
