That controls what can actually go on the filesystem, not how it is configured to wine. Linux fstype vfat handles fat12/16/32 with long filenames. Wine is only a *NIX application program.

None. win95 is a wine filesystem type (how you want the underlying filesystem presented to the windows apps. (long filenames allowed, but semi-case-insensitive) I use it with ext2.). fat32 is a trivial extension to the msdose fat filesystem. > > Does anyone have any pointers or advice? > > Thanks, > Dan Sawyer > Lawson --oof--- ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
