- I'm drooling over Linux, boys. I want it, and I want it bad. But, I
- want a ludicrous degree of file-exchangability. I know Linux can read/write
- to Dos disks. That's fine. But, when I'm in Dos, or in Os/2, I'll be unable
- to read my Linux partition. My Dos system can't read my Os/2 specific volume,
- but that's okay, since I spend most of my time in Os/2, which does. What I
- want, is a Unix-clone, that runs on top of Dos, that reads the Linux file
- system.
- It doesn't have to be a full emulator; when I want to RUN Linux stuff,
- I'll actually run Linux. But I need to interchange data.
- Also, I noticed that Linux has installable file systems. Great! Is
- anyone out there in C-programming-is-my-life land working on an HPFS (Os/2
- format) system for Linux, or, conversely, a Linux IFS for Os/2? Just because
- I'm too incompetant to know how doesn't mean none of you is doing it...
