Did you try your code on WINDOZE 4.0 (i. e. 95) and saw that or are
you just guessing?

Well, on my DOZE 6.22 with TCP/IP I get the same results as before (up
to ~4GiB is reported), so you didn't break anything in that setup.

As a matter of fact with your work we get up to ~4GiB on networks
drives in WINDOZE too. Great work!

So I'll check in your patch in a couple of days if nobody objects.

It would be good to get this tested on DOZE 6.21 and earlier and DOZE
7.0 and WINDOZE before FAT32 arrived to see we don't mess up anything.

I've tested it on DOZE 6.22, WINDOZE 95B, 98, ME and the corresponding
DOZEs.


Right,
