Hi Folks,

While browsing around my system the other day I discovered the following piece 
from my \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI file -

========================================================================
; 35  free disk space reported to DOS and Windows applications
;        0 = return true value (default)
;        1 = return a value less than two gigabytes
;
; The next lines help you to locate bits in the wrkheuristics entry.
;                           1         2         3         4
;                 012345678901234567890123456789012345678901
  wrkheuristics = 111111112131111111000101112011122100111110
                                                     ^
                                                     |
                                 Change this bit to 1!
========================================================================

So if you have DOS/Windows clients accessing large volumes on an OS/2 machine
across a LAN, then it appears that you can have OS/2 respond to them with an
acceptable disk space value without requiring extra utilities.

I haven't tried it but it may be useful to someone...........pk.
