NO!!! Warp 3 red spine can be installed and works fine without DOS and without 
any windows version.

No, HPFS is fine and is in fact better than FAT.

yes, almost anything.

You seem to be utterly confused. :)

hmm, I don't know if it's possible to _install_ win3.1 on HPFS, because that
would have to be done in an VMB under OS/2 (I never tried that), but you can
install win3.1 under plain booted DOS and under OS/2 backup that win3.1
installation, reformat the partition (where win3.1 was installed) to HPFS, and 
put win3.1 back where it was installed.

I never said that!! I am sure about that. You seem to have mixed that up too.
Show me where you believe I've said that. :)
