" Hi, Art. Not to worry. All you seem to need are a

What commands are you using that show a
limit of 33 Megs?
I have no trouble here spanning much larger
partitions with the DOS under OS/2.
What it doesn't do is "see" long filenames.
And there is a fix for that at the Di Stefano
and Holgrem website.
