Yes, Win95 OSR (or whatever) introduced FAT32 later on, but it wasn't in DOS per se, This does not accurately describe the technical circumstances. If we were to discuss LFNs, in that case the MS-Windows-bundled DOS versions alone did indeed only provide rudimentary help and application

Granted, I am a media professional, so facts especially n the Internet are important. the fact is ms dos 7.1 under wind 98 had fat 32, even Dr dos in 99 has it. if freedos wants to suggest that it is distinctive from older editions of dos, especially if fat 32 did not exist inf freedos circle
