You also have BBBS/NT, which is 32 bit.

HS> DR> Yes you can do that because Windows 95 supports VFAT, which
HS> DR> was first used in Windows NT. <G>
HS> And the stupid question of the day is......is VFAT = FAT?
More or less, yes.
HS> "VFAT is Virtual FAT"?
VFAT is the file system of Windows 95, which gives the possibility to have 
long file names.

Yes, but if you don't load it, you don't have long filenames.
