- While having HFS-formattable drives would be very nice, and I certainly
- would use the capability if it existed, it doesn't seem like it should be a
- priority for anyone. I think all of the long-file-name-using OSes under
- which Executor runs except NT allow you to use those long file names.
- F'rinstance, if I run Executor under Win95, I see 32-character names. I
- occasionally have problems running binaries directly out of the DOS
- filesystem, but those problems are rare.
