Thank you, Andreas.

Let me be sure I understand what you are suggesting - That I can run a
program under Win2K 2K Pro and read/write to HPFS formatted disk using
use
data <hpfsw2k.zip>.  And I can run a program under eCS and read/write
to FAT32 formatted disk.

So should I conclude that I cannot run a program under eCS and
read/write to NTFS formatted disk?  Can I have one FAT32 partition for
applications and data which I can access from both OSes?
 
Can you or someone point me to a place to find out what limitations are
on Win2K Pro when run under FAT32?  
FWIW I installed hpfsw2k.zip and it appears to run OK so far.  The
partition letters are different which I can live with I guess, but is
there any way to select partition/volume letters in Win2K as in LVM?

Wow, enough already!!!

TIA,
