This is a "simple" request/suggestion for a utility. 

Some DOS based programs will not run under os/2. This is presumably
the motivation for having dual boot. Now the trouble is that DOS 5
apparently will not handle HPFS, while os/2 on many systems runs
better using HPFS. In order to allow all of us to fully migrate it
would be very nice if someone would write a utility that would allow
real DOS to use HPFS. 

I have no sense of the magnitude of the programming task involved. If
it is too big, perhaps IBM itself might wish to undertake the task.
The existence of such a utility would enhance the complete migration
to an os/2 optimal environment.
