Lines: 11 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Reply-To: opendos AT delorie DOT com I understand that HIMEM.SYS bug is very important but I would remember about an another problem. I (and not only I) use DR-DOS as 'first aid system' on Windows NT computer. Since I converted one logical disk to NTFS I cannot see this disk from DR-DOS. I understand that NTFS support is too complex to be the part of DR-DOS. The problem is another: I cannot use the popular NTFSDOS driver that must allow to read NTFS disks from DOS. The answer of one from two authors of this TSR, Mark Russinovich, is: "You failed to read the requirements: NTFSDOS Requires MS DOS 5 or higher". Well, but DR-DOS claims to be fully compatible with MS-DOS 6! But really it has therefore some important differences! My question: what are these differences? If DR-DOS does not understand some DOS API functions or interrupts, I think, there are no problems to write a small driver or TSR to make the interface between NTFSDOS and DR-DOS.
