   Well, IBM and Microsoft developed the HPFS system together but after   
   their divorce M$ took it along, changed some parameters so that they   
   no longer were compatible and renamed it to NTFS.

   On my office machine OS/2 is running off HPFS partitions but the BBS   
   machine runs from FAT partitions. The FAT territory is well known to   
   me so if anything goes haywire it's easy to fix.   
      
   OS/2 does very seldom get crossed up so it is difficult to remember how   
   to recover whereas even child knows how to recover Windows, .

   That's unknown territory to me too.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,
