    initial v1  
    1 BTW, it seems that changing FAT drives' filesystem from FAT to FAT32, or vice versa causes Floppy icon in Drives object hang the WPS when right-clicking by mouse. Recreating the Drives object by SysDestroyobject/SysCreateObject with REXX partially helps, but right-clicking physical floppy icon still hangs the WPS. Vitrual floppy (VFDISK) is ok. So, it seems that WPS assumes A: and B: floppies to be FAT only, otherwise it hands the system. VFDISK floppy is assumed to be other type of drive (even the icon is not floppy, but like a memory card, or integrated circuit). Right-clicking the virtual floppy doesn't hang the system. So, this seems to be a WPS fault. But right-clicking the virtual floppy with chosing "Format..."  menu item causes PMFORMAT to blink and disappear. Right-clicking other FAT drive managed by fat32.ifs causes PMFORMAT to start ok, but it won't format anything, just does nothing. This seems to be a PMFORMAT problem. PMCHKDSK on any drive also blinks and disappears. Why it should be?

(Trying to start "FORMAT x: /fs:fat" parameter works the same on a IBM FAT and on FAT32.IFS,so I wonder what could be the difference. The only difference is that the original drive is reported as "FAT32".) PMCHKDSK on any drive also blinks and disappears. Why it should be?
