OFF-TOPIC Opening and converting .pm4 files

2001-11-05 Thread Daniel Toffetti

Hi, There are several approaches to your problem. It is indeed possible to make one *filesystem* span two partitions, by making the two partitions into what's called a "linear" or "append" multiple device, but this is not the simplest solution, and in my opinion it offers little in return for th
