This is a nice FAQ, but I am still hungry for *more* information!
I have compiled a list of all articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base which reference either OSR2 or FAT32 . Check these out, it should take you a while to read them all!
Personal Information, Acknowledgments, and Credits
Wanna know what I sound like? You can hear me blither unintelligbly about OSR2 at PCWORLD's newsradio site (http://www.pcworld.com/news/newsradio/index.html ). Select the link for Tuesday 4 February (you must have RealAudio to hear this).
Brian Livingstion is using my FAQ as a source for articles for Windows Sources (March 1997) and Infoworld. In his articles, he also discusses some information about OSR2 which does not appear in this FAQ. Here's a link to Brian Livingston's most recent InfoWorld article .
This FAQ appears in the latest edition of WindoWatch .
This information culled from the WIN95-L mailing list, and from people listed individually below. Without this mailing list, and the individual contributors, this FAQ would not be possible. I am truly indebted to all of them. LISTSERV@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM . If you have questions about the list, write to WIN95-L-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM.
Individual contributors (without these guys, no FAQ): Lee Chapelle , George Cifrancis III , David L. Cook , Dominique Cormann , Drew Dunn , Dave Habben , Frederik Gross , Michael Kenny , K.J. King , Bob Kurke , Mike Loebl , Bernhard Luger , Chip May , Chris Quirke , GT Smith , Gene Travers , Gerhard Wallin , and several anonymous contributors.
Anyone is invited to submit contributions to this page. Email them to me at serwin@ucsd.edu .
