   I'm sure a lot of people are interestet in a FAT32 format utility, that just   
   works.   
   Sure, we can (and do) use DFSee, but it is not very convinient.   
   Put it on Hobbes please, or tell us where to get it :-)   
      
   How about making the source open ?  That might help someone to be able   
   to get ufat32 updated to include formatting - or maybe you might help doing   
   that job yourself ?

   It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,   
   than to open it, and remove all doubt.
