BSD uses the UFS/FFS (Unix File System/Fast File System), which is unrelated to FAT anything. All I know is that FAT 32 is one of the alleged improvements in Windoze 98. No matter how you cut it, though, M$ FAT is still a floppy disk file system used on hard drives. It will never give adequate performance except for interactive single-user applications. W-NT has already abandoned FAT-XX. BSD can currently read and write FAT16, and may handle FAT32 in future, but it's not for serious use under BSD. [BSD is a non-M$ related operating system, not a Windoze program.] Dave -- Sancho Panza: `Microsoft Windows NT Server is the most secure network operating system available.'
