Woooo... hold your horses just one cotton pickin' minute there Mike!
What I am saying is that switching *nilly-willy* between IFS's on a
machine is not necessarily practical. That does not mean for one
moment that I prefer to use or even like to use FAT ... I can see the
benefit of having other IFS's made available to OD, I just don't
think its going to be terribly practical having the IFS load from
config.sys with an IFS=3Dext2.ifs type line. If someone then changes
that line in the config.sys to IFS=3Dvfat.ifs what the hell will
happen to the information already on that partition??
Please don't put me in the *I love FAT* camp, I don't belong there!!
