 This is on an HPFS formatted drive.  A power failure
can screw the
filesystem just like windows if you run fat. I gave up on fat about the
time I got OS/2.... 

Yes, FAT bad, anything else better.

It's relevent too as FAT filesystem is only 18-19 years old and
represents
the greatest flaw of DOS, WIN3.1 and WIN9x.

While off topic, it's interesting and OS designand evolution is something
the list members might delve deeper into.
