Just to inject a further complication into the discussion of HPFS, I
have just installed IBM OS/2 Advanced LAN Version 3.0.  If any
reasonable security is required, HPFS must be used.  The install
requires replaceing the version 2.0 286HPFS with a new 386HPFS.

I DO NOT know what the differences are, but there must be some, as one 
needs to remove protection and copy, using supplied utilities, certain 
information re existing user set-up, etc., before installing the new 
LAPS and LAN software in the HPFS partition.

Therefore, I suspect that IF someone writes a virus that impacts 286
HPFS it MIGHT NOT work on a 386HPFS partition, but, of course, I do 
not know.

If anyone has information on the differences between the two flavours, 
it might help in the discussion, and the issue of possible virus 
intrusion into the partition.

This does not change, as far as I can see, the possible infection of 
DOS files saved on the partition, etc.
