DiscOVER (all variants) can already handle FAT12 and FAT16. I was thinking of adding FAT32 support as well if anyone wanted it, but as FAT16 gets you up to 2Gb on a parition it did not seem particularily urgent. Possibly more useful would be upgrade the filename handling on MSDOS format media to recognise long file names rather than just the 8.3 format. The change that might be needed to get DiscOVER to work with these devices is a (small) one around the original opening code if any special device name is needed to open it in direct sector access mode. Having said that it may be sufficient to simply set the type as "WIN" and the format as "IBM" - I would have to check if that combination would get DiscOVER into the code that tries to identify a hard disk partition type. If not it is a minor change to allow it. Dave _______________________________________________________________________ Never pay another Internet phone bill!
