What's the use of an operating system if there's no (useful) apps on it. =
Could you please buy for me the OS/2 version of Visio ? Or perhaps =
CorelDraw ? I then will be happy to return to OS/2.

Sorry, couldn't resist.... :)

No, the best cluster solution for Win9x is FAT32. Win98 has support for =
'hot' converting. If using Win95 (OSR-2 only), the partition must be =
erased and re-created with FDISK.
This and some other disadvantages (mentioned by Win98 built-in helpfile) =
can make this solution a bit difficult to apply. However, in my opinion =
it is worth the try.

Best wishes,
    Cristi
