Karen,
There must be a program you need to run using a DOS environment. Am I
right about this? If so is it a well known package or a custom software
package? Some of older DOS software packages required a more traditional
DOS filesystem like FAT-16.
The decision as to which filesystem to use is sometimes imposed by an
application program. An example I've encountered was a custom Clipper
database software package that is insisting on a less than 540 megabyte
partition. Why 540 Megabytes I don't know. Just to be safe I found it
necessary to limit the partition size to 510 Megabytes.
As I understand it, the original Clipper compiler was built using Microsoft
C 5.1. Many add-on libraries used that same compiler and its libraries.
Somewhere within that combination, partition size limits were imposed on
the run-time program.
Cheers
