Re: Regarding HPFS in the install/setup...
Repeating what you said:

Ahh... I can imagine how IBM got ahold of it (if it's part
owned/designed by MS). Remember, in the early days of OS/2, it was an
MS/IBM cooperative effort.
It isn't NT's HPFS though, is it? I mean, it was written for OS/2
originally. Wasn't OS/2 out before NT? I thought NT supported it
until MS decided to shot all OS/2 compatability in the back (i.e.
Win95/NT4.0)
Perhaps that "title" should say: OS/2 and NT HPFS
BTW: Is the HPFS ReadOnly still?
