No guarentees to accuracy of answer, but I believe NO!
a) 1.2.13 came out before Win 95, from memory.
b) I think VFAT came in about 1.3.20ish

By the way, I've been heavily using VFAT with linux for months with no
problems - as I have a SCSI DAT tape and Bill Gates doesn't know fancy
things like SCSI exist, Win95, at least until recently, had NO way of
backing up to such devices. VERY galling as the Backup they provide is
a gutted version of Norton Backup for Windows 3.1, which DID support
both SCSI tapes and my older Archive Viper QIC150,(circa 1988
vintage), which Bill's Win 95 hasn't heard of either. 

Cheers, Alan Vidler
