   These bugs have been known for years, as you can see on the data of   
   the msgs. Doesn't look like anyone has been working on it.   
   I hit the same issues - both DosSetFilePtr and DosWrite just returns errors -   
   when writing the installer for osFree. Had to use the IOCtrl interface that   
   Ko showed you for FAT32 insted. Although this interface should work on   
   HPFS too, it is unfortunately not implemented in JFS, so this isn't usefull   
   for all IFS's either :-/

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