- The High Performance File System existed for OS/2 1.x, although I don't
- remember if it shipped with 1.0 or was one of the enhancements that came
- with 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3. You can find an article in Microsoft System
- Journal by a Microsoft author extolling the virtues of HPFS and how the
- engineers at Microsoft planned and did their very best to incorporate
- New Technology (OK, I'm deliberately using words they didn't actually
- use here....) into HPFS to ensure its viability into the 21st century,
- or something to that effect. That should tell you just how old HPFS is,
- if it pre-dates the official IBM-Microsoft break-up.
