PowerQuest have been listening to us, the OS/2 community! In my opinion their announcement contained two important items; 1. Power Quest clarified that the DOS exe does recognise HPFS and FAT EAs, but WILL require a reboot to run. 2. Due to the response from OS/2 users they, Power Quest, ARE considering an OS/2 exe, I quote: " I want you to know that your input has been taken quite seriously by everyone involved * by Scott Flinders, PowerQuest's product manager for PartitionMagic, by the development team, and by top management.....If PowerQuest does include a native OS/2 executable, it will come out as a free downloadable patch." They will report back to us in two weeks with their decision. Back to my petition. The response has been very good so far and I think that it could still be useful and something PQ may take note of. I plan to keep accepting names until Sunday 4th Oct. I will then pass on your names and comments to PQ on Monday 5th. Thanks to all those who have supported this effort already, but please do consider signing up if you haven't done so, [Moderator's note: Please send all responses to Mr. Buckley at jrb568@bham.ac.uk.
