The limit does not come from the OS, it is coded in the "superblock" of the filesystem. It can be configured when creating the filesystem. The default is indeed sometimes 112. Also, MS-DOS 6.22 "is" not FAT16, that does not mean anything. FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 are three variants of the filesystems with different compromises between wasted storage per file and wasted storage globally. The tool that creates the filesystem will normally choose the best one for a typical use by default. And of course, MS-DOS < 7 did not support FAT32. Regards, -- Nicolas George
