to the expectations of a FAT spoiled audience. From there stem lots
of problems.

I know. This was the pros I was hinting at, Tom Miller, Dave Cutler
et al, scooped up when DEC went supernova.
The thing with the inode/direntry was more a metaphor for "DOS FAT
is at a too low level of abstraction, and NTFS pays the price for
that".
Not that important. Just a hysterical nootfote.
