Actually, I still wonder about MS.  Why they can't have their own OS's
read the same filesystems is beyond me.  95/98 can't read NTFS, NT
can't read Win-32.  

I would suspect that this wasn't deliberate on MS's part, because they
already won the war.  I think it is more likely it is a bug in fdisk on
OS/2.
