fat95 - Win95/98 compatible FAT filesystem handler for AmigaOS. Fork of disk/misc/fat95.lha.

COMPONENTS IN THIS RELEASE
==========================
- fat95 3.24 (07.06.2026)
- install95 3.19 (25.01.2026)
- dd 2.2 (13.06.2026) (new)

WHAT'S NEW (14.06.2026)
=======================

Tools:

This release is mainly a dd maintenance update. dd 2.2 adds TD64 support for
large-disk transfers, fixes unreliable NSD detection from the previous dd
release, and improves INSPECT output.

dd 2.2:
* Support TD64 and harden NSD probe (fixes #20).
* INSPECT now shows a ">4GiB methods:" line listing which large-transfer
  commands the device offers. Add VERBOSE to also print the device's
  full command set.
* New CMD= option to force which command dd uses: AUTO (default), CMD,
  TD64, NSCMD or SCSI. A forced command is used as-is, with no automatic
  fallback.

dd 2.1:
* On Kickstart older than 2.0 (V36), dd now prints a short message
  saying it needs Kickstart 2.0+ and exits, instead of failing silently.
* Console output now uses VFPrintf.

Purpose
=======

"fat95" is a DOS handler to mount and use Win95/98 volumes just as if they were
AMIGA volumes.

System requirements
===================

* every AMIGA, OS 1.3+ (OS 2.0+ for full functionality)
* a suitable device file for low level disk access, like the
  mfm.device for floppies, compactflash.device for CF in PCMCIA

Features
========

See fat95.guide for full documentation.

* Workbench and applications support
* Diskchange autosense
* Format type autosense: FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
* MBR and GPT partition table support
* Simple LINUX style partition selection or manual definition
* Up to 4 GBytes of partition size for FAT16
* Large harddisk support via TD64 or direct SCSI
* Long filenames (up to 104 chars for now)
* Inquiry, read, write, and maintenance access
* Built-in error check utility
* Disk formatting using the OS 2.0+ format command
* MS-DOS 8.3 downward compatibility
* User definable language and code page
* Date range Jan 1st, 1980 through Dec 31st, 2107
* Extended datestamp support: creation date and time, last accessed date
