there are exactly 2 (maybe 3) commands thatb deal with fat32 at all: format, chkdsk (and friends) and maybe defrag, while I have no idea about defrag status. now it would be cool if you gave at least examples of what 'programs', and what 'problems' none other 'commands' should be even aware of what filesystem they are dealing with. or are you confounding 'fat32' with 'LFN'? > One of them is an empty GUI. name please. if that were true it tuely shouldn't be distributed. > So I had the idea with summer of code. > Well, what can happen? given that for the last 10+ years exactly 2 FreeDOS programs have made any progress (ignoring any internationalisation stuff), I see expect the chances by +-0%. by the way, the 2 programs are the setup stuff and edlin. hardly rocket science.
