Mark Russinovitch offered a freeware NTFS *reader* for DOS through his old Sysinternals site, and a payware driver that could also *write* to NTFS from DOS through the sister Winternals site. (It was intended for rescue operations on NTFS filesystems from DOS.) I'm not sure how thrilled I'd be at trying to use NTFS as the "native" file system on a DOS machine (aside from the philosophical questions about whether it's still a DOS system if you do...). I wouldn't mind a driver that would let me read ext2/3/4 file systems under Linux from DOS, since FreeDOS is installed on a partition on a box that has Linux, too, but I'd hardly expect FreeDOS to run on top of a Linux FS. ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
