It's not accident that the ROM-DOS kernel supports LFNs. I notice some of the restaurant or hotel is still using DOS (wow!). It's networked for billing and it's in Chinese. Windows is not ruling the world since this kind of small terminal only need entry level hardware. >As Federico Felini said, "The visionary is the only true realist!" ;-) I hope this will be true. Now we can did it but in a more complex way: 1) boot DOS 2) LFN 3) DOSNTFS driver 4) Retrieve information from hard disk But still unable to fully access NTFS or alter LFN files. >Unfortunately ROMDSK works only with older BIOSes.

Better to think other ways such as writing code and put them in bootable USB flash, boot the flash and clean virus, spam, fix or clone your hard disk! A huge market ahead ... the commercial didn't do it just for 1 reason - R&D cost too much.
