Among BSDs, UFS / FFS should work. To get rid of the many limitations in the MS-DOS file system, tar is really the best solution. (I know this from interoperability works with many different UNIXes, such as BSDs, Solaris, IRIX and Mac OS X - even Linux can handle it without problems.) And it is not limited to a subset of media. I can only say: Avoid MICROS~1 stuff if possible. Not using it makes you happy afterwards. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
