Subject:  Re:  Accessing HPFS from windoze

Chris's ( Warpspeed ) comment was why would
I need DOS HPFS drivers?

Actually, I assumed Voyteks' "Windoze" to include
16bit DOSes
( for me, "Windoze" includes 16bit DOS and Win 3.1x,
  and DOS bootability and coexistence with OS2 
  is still regrettably important ).

Obviously for others, "Windoze" doesn't include 16bit DOS.

Regards
Chris.

These are from dos, so why do you need it?
