- Word 5.5 is a family mode application, meaning it runs under both OS/2
- (16 bit) and DOS. There is therefore no native HPFS support, since HPFS
- doesn't exist under DOS, but of course Word can still access HPFS drives
- as long as the files follow FAT naming rules.

- HPFS was introduced with OS/2 v1.2, back in late 1988 or so.
