    BTW, does 'check' including fixing FAT32 ? The current FAT32 check    
   > often leads to a msg like: Please run u$ Scandisk to fix your    
   > partition :-/   
   >   
   Allan now knows that the answer to this is "yes", he being the first    
   person other than me to have successfully checked a FAT32 partition with    
   CHKVOL.  He's also seen CHKVOL tell him about some oddities in his FATs    
   that not even Microsoft's CHKDSK (from Windows NT) was telling him    
   about.  (-:   
      
   Others have not been so lucky.  It turns out that there's a    
   not-so-well-known problem with the FAT32 IFS driver and access to    
   *large* partitions (certainly larger than Allan's ~4GiB at any rate)    
   that affects any program that tries to read the partition directly, as    
   of course CHKVOL does.  One cannot even seek to block #0 and read it.     
   I'm trying a few workaround strategies for this.
