Ben Kirkpatrick, ELI <blkirk@float.eli.net> stands accused of saying: > Couldn't this be overcome by including DOS FS support and using some > space out of C:\TEMP .

Two problems : you loose the advantages of a read-only setup if you use a hard drive :) And Secondly, msdosfs doesn't have permissions. Not to mention that if it did, you could still reboot into DOS and midify the files. This is not secure. If you want to use HD space, just make a FFS partition. -- Jonathan Mini Ingenious Productions Software Development P.O. Box 5693, Eugene, Or. 97405 "A child of five could understand this!
