Can I run my DOS application on computers with Windows XP using the NTFS
file system?
My DOS application was written in Clipper. For the past several years I've
been running this application on a 5 computer network using Windows 98 on all
the computers. Everything worked fine.
About a week ago, I upgraded the OS on the 5 computers from Windows 98 to
Windows XP. I did a clean install of Win XP on all the computers by
formating the hard drives (I selected NTFS) and then I did the Win XP
install. The installation of Win XP went well and my application "appears"
to be running OK but could something sinister be going on with my data and
files that I may not be aware of early on? I recently read somewhere that
NTFS should not be used if you plan to run DOS applications. Is this true?
Did I goof when I elected to use NTFS instead of FAT32? Thanks for the help.
