Dear POSSI:

Here I am REplying to my own question - with another pair of questions!

Does it make ANY difference whether it is HPFS386 rather than HPFS?

I had thought HPFS386 was, somehow, 32-bit and HPFS (since it started with OS/2 (1.x, "real" OS/2)), was 'only' 16-bit. 

I'd concluded, over the years of reading, that HPFS386 was 'really' an especially network enabled vn. of HPFS and NOT, necessarily, any more or less 32-bit than 'ordinary' HPFS.

Wrong or correct?


Sincerely,

Thomas Clayton
