On a newly "made world" machine at CTM src-cur.3261 I was able to mount_msdos my C: drive which is a Win95 B release installation on a newly formatted C: partition without FAT32 (without support for large drives as Micky soft calls it). It looked good through Xfm with long filenames in mixed case and filenames with spaces in them. So then I though I'd load StarOffice and try to read a Word 6 document. However when I clicked on the /dos directory (my C: drive mount point) using the "File Open" dialog box, the machine locked solid. I did not see the contents of the mount point appear in the dialog box at all and I had to press the reset switch as Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing (Virtual console switching also had no effect).
