YES. Not surprising, nor a fault of DOS or FAT32+ ;-)

> This virtually "kills" FAT32+.

NO.

1. You could kill "windows" instead.

2. Bad enough that so many people consider DOS GUI development as no-need/obsolete/impossible because some "Windows" don't like it ... if DOS may develop only as far as "Windows" gives permission this to happen -> R.I.P :crying:

Maybe true. Not the first and not the last hack in the universe :-P

Please point me to the new hack-free filesystem for DOS you just designed :hungry:

Let's open 3rd world war tomorrow :clap:

It this maybe related to King Udo's "not very good" performance as forum administrator in the past ? IMHO one should keep his (crappy) admin performance separated from (good) FAT32+ implemented by him as first. You can try to punish King Udo by hating FAT32+ ... same as Jack tried to punish FreeDOS users for some (what was it at all ???) :crying:

Funny enough, King Udo implemented FAT32+, and the only who cares and even defends it is the bad guy previously banned from his forum :lol3:
