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- Linux 1.3.xx support is no longer maintained though the INSTALL_1.3.x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.
