OS/2 uses HPFS most extensively, but NT also supported it (MS removed it in the 4.0 release). It is a MicroSoft file system that IBM somehow owns part of, like most of Os/2. It's not really incorrect to call it NT's HPFS just useless as NT can't use the format anymore. NT's native filesystem is NTFS (which has an experimental driver out). Jason
