I've been running FAT32 for a few months now under Windows
95. The only program that has not worked is a backup
program that reads the disk sector by sector.

YARN, and every thing, else has worked just fine for me
under FAT32.

Converting to FAT32 got me a lot more usable disk space.

There is a program called CVT that converts your windows 95
system to FAT32. What it does is convert the File
Allocation Tables from 12 bits to some thing larger (16 or
32 don't remember which).

The practical up shot of this is that now a one byte file
under FAT32 takes only 4K of disk space, where under the old
FAT it would take 32K of space.

If any one wants this conversion program let me know, I'll
e-mail or put on my web site. I don't know who originally
wrote it, I just know it was not me. Use at your own risk
ect...
