It actually fills the extra space with       a hidden file so that free space is <=2gb (no TSR req'd) and resizes the       hidden file as necessary on subsequent runs. It is circa 2000, so don't know       if it might choke on multi-terabyte drives.                     .\\ike              --- GoldED 2.50+        * Origin: -=( The TechnoDrome )=- Austin,TX 512-327-8598 33.6k (1:382/61)    |
