   i know... i've been running it since v2.11 was released ;)   
      
   and i /still/ run my main operation on OS/2... these days it is eCS (eCom   
   Station) instead of my old reliable Warp 3 Connect which lasted the longest of   
   any OS i've ever run... i hope to find the time somewhere to resurrect it... i   
   don't know what sort of corruption twisted it up but something did for the   
   first time since it was ever installed :(   
      
    TW> In fact the web site i directed Mark to about HPFS in a previous

   mark?? did you mean ed or holger??   
      
   the MS site reference for hpfs is understandable... i was only saying that i   
   thought it was doubtful that ntfs.com would discuss hpfs to any great detail...
