I've lost everything three times in as many weeks. Why Sierra Utilities wiped my drive, I don't know. But I dont even care anymore.

Ugh.

Almost everything I could think to suggest you have certainly already thought of and then some. Were you drvspaced to the hilt again?

NTFS has a compression system that's a bit more reliable from what i undercstand, although the compression levels are a lot lower. OTOH, if some of your graphics workhorses are still DOS level they will crash under NT (I tried an old in-house staple the other day and it gave me a GPF error screen I'd not seen before that evidently was identical to the one in the engine that was going to Make Us All Rich(tm) ... OTOH, most of what I've tried under the command-prompt in NT 5.0 _does_ work (I've admittedly not been all that adventurous in testing the limits))

BTW, I've found the vi for WinDOS hacked to to verify it's running with version X of MS-DOS here (which I post in feeble hopes of amusing you):
