Notes

Read the FAQ on Peter's page!
I've only added Win98 (VFAT Extended LBA partitions) support to the 0.16 stuff which works fine for me (+ some bug fixes, see below!).
Use at your own risk!

History 

FSDEXT2 0.163, based on FSDEXT2 0.16



v0.163 - 24.08.2001

-------------------



-short filename generating reworked a bit

-added FAQ.TXT from Peter's page to the docs

-Mount:

 -now displays a message when mounting

 -uses icon from FSDEXT2.ICO if available in system directory for mounted drives,

  i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

  DriveIcons\<driveletter>\DefaultIcon will be set to <system directory>\FSDEXT2.ICO

  (if this entry is empty or does not exist yet!)

 -new option /r: resets drive icons for all driveletters to default (if the entry

  in registry was set to <system directory>\FSDEXT2.ICO!). Use this option if your

  system displays the icon from FSDEXT2.ICO for a drive that wasn't mounted by FSDEXT2

  (e.g. if you have a new device that uses a driveletter that was formerly used for

  an ext2 partition)

------------------



-fixed: volumes in Extended/VFAT Extended LBA partitions were

        not detected under certain circumstances

------------------



-support for VFAT Extended LBA (type 0x0F) partitions

-recognition of Windows FAT-32 (type 0x0B) partitions

-character conversion changed to OEM_WANSI (Windows ANSI codepage),

 e.g. german Umlauts are displayed correctly now

-Mount:

 -fixed: check if a device is already mounted with the given driveletter

 -partition size output extended to 6 digits

 -partitions of one harddisk are shown in a group (blank line separation

  between disks)

 -accepts driveletter with our without colon
