Also, long file name support is really what I wanted also, because and drive c: (420MB), drive e: (250MB), are both HPFS, drive d: (40MB) is a fat drive left from my days of Linux that has my hibernation, and I got a 5MB PCMCIA Flash drive (drive f:). And also, with over 11,500 files alone on drive c:, and an immense portion of them are very long file names and directories, I've never got an "Out of Memory" error, even when mounting every drive on my server (including the cdrom usuaully), that's about 10-20K files. And without the CD-ROM is about 1.5GB of stuff, soon to be expanded. >From: Paul Khoury[SMTP:pkhoury@earthlink.net] >Sent: 1997 August 11 - Monday 06:41 >To: Geoff Hogan; thinkpad@cs.utk.edu >Subject: Re: Warp4 on a 701 (was: NT on 750) > >On Mon, 11 Aug 97 13:00:07, Geoff Hogan wrote: > >>>If he was running Warp4 he must be accustomed to sluggishness.
