Hi, is there any problem adding a Fshrink(handle,newsize) GEMDOS call to the next GEMDOS release ? I think it's very frustrating to shrink files through a temporary file (the archiving program I'm writing has to do this while deleting files from archive). I would like to know what's the opinion especially of you ATARI people about this subject (Alan, do you hear me ?). Besides, would it be too difficult (or impossible) to include a FAT pointer into the floppy boot sector ? This could enhance disk I/O performance, I guess (placing the FAT at the middle of the disk). That's it for now, fellows, have a nice time.
