Well looks like someone is expecting windBloWs 7 to fail big time so there rounding up the survival funds , Also with the EU and everyone else wanting a piece of them at the moment they gotta look for money by even fouler means than before .

And why their FAT claims have not been canned yet is well a joke i mean they stole the entire system off someone else in the first place it's only CPM with the syntax changed .

CP/M filesystem format

Posted Mar 3, 2009 0:27 UTC (Tue) by xoddam (subscriber, #2322) [Link]

Not actually true; CP/M listed file blocks alongside the filename in the directory entries (using extra entries in the same directory table for really long files). There was a single directory for the whole volume, no hierarchical directory trees. CP/M's filesystem did not have an independent index table like a FAT. IIRC it didn't even have a free-blocks bitmap on disk (but don't cite me).
