I had written:

| So far I've learned that I'm limited to 8Gb per harddisk and
| DOS primary partitions are limited to 2Gb.  While FDISK R2.13
| will allow creation of up to 4Gb (4094.6Mb) logical drives in
| the extended partions, file functions crash trying to access
| them.

Incidently: FDISK will offer up to create up to an 8Gb logical
drive in an extended partition but crash is I accept a size
larger than 4094Mb.

While CHKDSK and similar work with the 4Gb partitions, COPY
crashes with any partition larger than 2Gb (2047.3Mb) at least
with DR-DOS 7.03.
