Hey!
> As a matter of curiosity, given that we were unable to find a > precise answer to why Microsoft dropped IFS after MS-DOS 5.0 to start with, your question is pretty much nonsense. IFS or the "networking redirector" was definitively there in MSDOS 6.2 and most likely in 7 (aka Win95). it just just that's the LANMAN and MSCDEX part was implemented in the protected mode part of the OS. but I'm pretty sure that NTFSDOS, NTFS4DOS and friends would work on msdos 7 as well, allthough I never tried that. I don't even know where this idea even originated. it's pure BS, at least for MSDOS 6.2. > (although we had speculations), yes. speculations. > I thought, why not ask ChatGPT (Bing) about that? in the meantime everybody should know that ChatGPT has a very convinced attitude telling nonsense. I think asking it to find new pointers is legitimate. Taking the answer for truth is not. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
