I know, but it's important to know (barely). Win2000 was the first NT-based OS to support FAT32 and the Win9x LFN API (int 21h, 71xxh). NT 4.0 (1996) didn't. So my point is that XP (based upon 2000 but for now also for home users) was hacked together somewhat roughly to replace WinME, and after a while, MS stopped caring about fixing bugs. So we're left with buggy and incomplete DOS emulation in some ways. :-/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: INSIGHTS What's next for parallel hardware, programming and related areas?
