No. Let's not just speculate. XyWrite runs perfectly -- fast! -- in
FAT32, FAT16, NTFS, HPFS, Ext2, you name it -- I've used them all
(except VFAT), under 95, 98, NT, 2K, XP, OS/2, Mandrake, Red Hat. I
even run it off FAT32 under OS/2 (using FAT32.IFS v.94b from OS/2
Netlabs)! Under 2K, I run it at the tail end of a 39Gb extended
partition. I've run it off a UDF filesystem (CD-ROM) occasionally.
What does XyWrite know about file systems? Nothing. It makes a call
to a DOS API, and the operating system does the work.
