Henk Kelder has released version 0.84 of FAT32.IFS:
http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/

Changes in version 0.84: 

Modified partfilt so if it is used to make a hidden partition visible 
and the partition is of a by OS/2 supported type the partition is 
presented to OS/2 by its actual (non-hidden) type. If the type is 
unknown to OS/2 the partition is presented as an IFS partition. 
The previous modification caused all partition types after the /P 
argument to be presented as IFS partitions.

Altered the internal handling of open files in specific when more 
than one instance of a file is opened. Improved performance on larger 
files by keeping track of the last cluster per open file and the 
current cluster per instance. On my own system this lead to round 25% 
performance increase when writing large sequential files. Also, the 
absolute limit on total open (unique) files has been removed.

Fixed a problem with my internal malloc/free routines. A bug could 
possibly lead to traps. 

Changed the way MONITOR works. Introduced a tracemask. See FAT32.TXT 
for details.
