apparently it can since the DOS subsystem doesn't care about the file
system format... it simply makes requests and the OS fulfills them or
not... available space requests go through the DOS subsystem and then to
the OS... 2gbfix catches the return value and ensures that it is sane
before passing it back to the requestor...

spacehog is good and ok... i generally when with something much easier,
though... i created a large file and then just copy it to numerous names to
eat the space... when i need more room, i simply delete one or more of
those files ;)
