>> (Presuming you don't even >> have that large files, or that the app doesn't access these files.) I don't think copy or archive utilities would care if they won't access the large files. >> Excluding low-level disk utilities such as defragmenting or disk >> checking >> programs of course, because EVERY new or extended filesystem breaks >> them. I would describe CHKDSK as "defragmenting or disk checking program". I mean, did you even READ my mail? It's not like you have to, but please do if you're going to answer it. >> DOS-C's FAT+ support could be set by default > > I don't care what you do to DOS-C. but the FreeDOS kernel shouldn't > support FAT+ Yo, as mentioned in the previous mails, I refer to the FreeDOS kernel as DOS-C. And maybe you're right, and the FreeDOS kernel needs forking for every feature. >> Since DOS-C doesn't (yet) support FAT16 file systems larger than 4 GiB > yes another stupid idea. > >> , FAT16+ is no option anyway. > right.
