Thanks for the info. The German free NTFS4DOS seems to work well
with FREEDOS. However, KAVDOS32 doesn't work with this combo,
and IIRC it doesn't work reliably with FREEDOS even if the drive is
FAT32. Something can be worked out using the McAfee command
line scanners though. But I've found problems/limitations with both
the McAfee scanners and F-Prot for DOS. So I'm looking for a freeware
NTFS driver with R/W that works with MS DOS 7 or 8 since KAVDOS32
works well under MS DOS.
I'll try to find NTFS.EXE. If it works with MS DOS it may be what I'm
looking for. Otherwise, I'm hoping that a later version of NTFS4DOS
will play with MS DOS.
