	I found this quote in OS/2's README file today, and I need to know
if it's right.  I was 99% sure HPFS could support larger drives.

	If this is true, can HPFS386 (from LAN Server) handle larger drives?

I think it is correct the HPFS has a fairly small max size (or at least OS/2
incarnation of the HPFS standard uses 2G as the max, in case some IBMer knows
something the rest of us don't care)

I also believe that HPFS386 fixes that as well as some of HPFS' other short 
comings.  I'm not 100% certain though.  If HPFS386 doesn't do it, then there 
is probably product that will fix it.
