So is FAT16/FAT32, but those are supported pretty much everywhere. MS will jump on you if you try to use MS code. If you reverse engineer and roll your own access programs, MS won't go after you. It's in their interest to have the format readable on everything. As noted, support on Linux exists. The issue for FreeDOS is less patent protection, and more "Who will write the needed code?" But "Who will write the needed code?" is an issue for FreeDOS in general. > Ralf ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
