   That is what we currently are missing !   
   BTW, does 'check' including fixing FAT32 ? The current FAT32 check   
   often leads to a msg like: Please run u$ Scandisk to fix your partition :-/

   Well, for first test version, we will all be quite happy with only FAT32 :-)   
   Anyway, current HPFS formatting is dead slow, so a better version would   
   surely be nice.   
      
   Since we often use FAT32 when we test FreeLDR - incl booting OS/2 on FAT32 -    
   we sure would like to have an OS/2 tool to do the format - beta or not ;-)

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