Hi Shane and others,
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/tech/fat.asp
is very old news. As discussed on our topica mailing
list on 5 December 2003 (yes, twok and three), the
three mentioned patents are all about long file name
processing only. MS wants money from people who build
USB memory sticks

Hi Eric,
>do that by now), but actually it is about LFN.
Did you mean the patent is about LongFileName, not the FAT itself?
How about FAT32? It was defined by M$ and build by M$.

Johnson.
FWIW, LFN was an integral part of WordPerfect 5.1 - which predates MS win9x by
quite a few years.
The USPTO's just committing gratuitous fraud. Which is to say, there can be
no excuse for such malfeasance.
