[snip the massive sig]

There are several DOS TSR's that provide read-only access to hpfs
partitions that work under win95. The only name I can think of off
hand is amos3.  It should be at one of the os2 ftp archives (hobbes,
cdrom.com, etc).  Most of these that I've tried do find for simple
reading of files and such, but for some reason exec'ing from an HPFS
drive doesn't work. For example: I have NT installed using HPFS (so I
can share files with OS/2) and installed MSVC++ 4.0 onto that drive.
Win95 could read the files fine, but wouldn't execute anything.  I had
to create a mirror directory structure on the FAT drive and copy all
the executables (.exe, .dll, .ocx, etc.).

There is also iHPFS which gives good HPFS-Access. I use this mainly but
I don't know if it runs under Win95. And I never experienced any problems
executing programs from HPFS partitions. You can also access files with
long filenames but the name is changed so it is a 8.3 one.

Another program I tried was HPFS-Access. i am not sure where it was, there
is a demo-version somewhere on the net. It allows to read AND WRITE to
HPFS-Partitions. There are DOS- and Win3.1 -drivers. The demo-version
limits writing to 30 minutes or 20 Megabyte, whatever is first. As far as
I know it doesn't work under Win95.

I also would like to know if anyone has an hpfs reader (and writer?) for NT.  Or NTFS from OS/2?

As I understand it, WindowsNT reads and writes HPFS partitions with no 
problem.

HPFS is Microsoft Code.  Microsoft had support for HPFS in NT - but 
they dropped it.

Call MS and ask for it  - they will claim to not know what your talking
about.

Oh - they will also recommend that you remove OS/2 from your system
to improve performance.  How I don't Know - but they say that on
the Win 95 stuff.
