WHAT'S NEW (30.09.2026)
=======================
Filesystem handler 'fat95 4.1':
* PARTITION NUMBERING CHANGED. CF<n>: and FAT\<n> select the partition
at that place in the partition table, as lsptres shows it in its Part
column, instead of the n-th FAT partition:
MBR primary slots 0 to 3 CF0: to CF3: FAT\1 to FAT\4
logical drives CF4:, CF5:, ... FAT\5, FAT\6, ...
An empty or non-FAT slot keeps its number: a FAT partition in slot 1
after a Linux partition in slot 0 is now CF1:, where it was CF0:.
Cards with FAT partitions in consecutive slots from the first mount
as before; for others, rename the mountlist to the slot number.
* A damaged FAT, such as a looped or out-of-range cluster chain, fails
with "not a DOS disk" instead of hanging the handler or following the
chain outside the volume.
* A FAT read error while deleting or resizing a file is reported as a
failure instead of success.
* Fixed: a file cut to zero length with SetFileSize and then written
again could keep using its freed clusters.
* ROM-resident fat95 registers FAT\0 to FAT\12 in FileSystem.resource
(up to FAT\8 before), so the DosType-byte scheme reaches logical drives
up to CF11: / FAT\12.
Tools 'dd 2.6':
* The -- more -- prompt is shown in italic, reversed.
Tools 'lsfsres 1.2':
* The -- more -- prompt is shown in italic, reversed.
Tools 'dd 2.5':
* Nothing changes in use; the pausing of long output is now the same
code lsfsres uses.
Tools 'lsfsres 1.1':
* The listing prints one screenful at a time; any key continues, Q
stops. Redirected output is written in full.
* The column headings line up with the columns, and a name too long for
its column ends in "...".
* The Version column reads as 47.4 rather than as the raw 002F0004.
* Output lines end in LF alone.
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
* ptable.library (bundled; install to LIBS:) for partition auto-detect;
explicit-geometry mountlist entries do not need it
Features
========
See fat95.guide for full documentation.
* Workbench and applications support
* Diskchange autosense
* Format type autosense: FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
* MBR, GPT, and flat (whole-disk FAT) partition 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
(readable as file comment text; off by default, Control "+d+D" enables)
* Volume serial number as name for unnamed volumes
* Automatic directory optimization
* Written entirely in assembly language
