Thanks for the heads up on that. The versions I have will not work with FAT
32. I think the latest version I have is either 1.2 or 1.3. I used it one
time but saw some things after it was done that I did not care for. For
example it does not reduce the size of the FAT when you reduce the size of
the partition. This is no biggies, but I am rather picky about such
things<g>.
