FIPS also works with FAT32 partitions, and has done for quite a
while. You can get it at
	http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/
or from
	http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1401/disk.htm
(along with some other programs you might like to try, such as the
Ranish Partition Manager and Free FDISK). The latter is part of the
Free Software for DOS site, at
	http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1401/softlib1.htm
- an excellent source of free software, with reviews.
