Hi Keith,

Get yourself a copy of the ms-dos encyclopedia and it will describe in detail what the exact advantage of FAT was over DR's CPM file system. I don't remember the detail but it was telling.

I never said FAT was a great thing, only that it propelled DOS over the top in competition against CPM. Please don't put words into my mouth.

FWIW
