i believe io.sys in dos must be contiguous, too. http://www.csulb.edu/~murdock/format.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IO.SYS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/66530/en-us i had always wondered why plan9.ini was the way it is. i had not realized that it is compatable with config.sys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONFIG.SYS does anyone know the reason for this? - erik
