- This file contains known bugs and compatibility problems of the dmsdos
- filesystem driver. This file does *not* contain bugs that have been fixed in
- the actual version.
-
- - Real moves across CFVs fail. Fix rather impossible because you cannot move
- across partitions. Copy and delete instead.
-
- - Dmsdos is incompatible with the Win95 compression agent and its compression
- scheme 'Ultra' (SQ-0-0). You cannot read files that have been 'Ultra'
- compressed (Need Doc to fix this problem!). Recompress to 'High'.
-
- - This release cannot handle fragmented clusters on drivespace 3 disks. I.e.
- you can't read them. Dmsdos does not create fragmented clusters. (Need
- Doc to fix this problem!). (Problem was never reported, but it's
- theoretically possible - you may have to defragment your disk)
-
- - Long filename handling in the compressed partitions is still primitive
- (no unicode translation, only US-ASCII characters are supposed to work).
-
- - The new dmsdos daemon may cause strange side effects when the filesystem
- gets full. Read docs for details.
-
- - Win95 drivespace 3 users WARNING: I got reports about serious problems
- in previous dmsdos versions. I've changed the code, but it's currently
- unsure if dmsdos can handle each strange situation that might occur under
- screwy circumstances. So be prepaired for failure and backup before.
-
- - Linux 1.3.xx support is no longer maintained though the INSTALL_1.3.x
- scripts are still part of this release. Use Linux 2.0 if it doesn't work.
