The original message was slightly misleading. Although it's true that an NT
drive, formatted NTFS is not accessible from Win95, DOS et al, NT
doesn't *have* to be installed as NTFS. Optionally it can be installed as
FAT16
in which case it can be seen from a FAT16 system.

I have DOS/win31, Win95 and WinNT installed in 3 independent partitions
handled by a boot manager, and I specifically installed NT (and win95 OSR2
come to that .... it could be installed as FAT32) as FAT 16 so that each can
talk to the others' partitions.
