   It's not finished, yet.  Yes, it will format and check FAT volumes.  But    
   I'd like to have HPFS support as well.  That's mostly just a placeholder    
   at the moment.

   To be honest, the idea of working on, or even in any way bothering with,    
   a 16-bit DLL that has to adhere to a quite crude and limited API seems    
   to be a fairly foolish one, at this point.  (-:   
      
   A much more productive thing to do, that will indeed help with this very    
   tool, would be to get a binary-compatible SOM workalike up and running.     
   Making the classes in those DLLs language-neutral and compiler-neutral    
   is one of the things to do before it is finished.  That means making    
   them into SOM classes, that hence will require a SOM runtime.
