    HPFS stands for High Performance File System.  Its the new file system
available for use on OS/2 V1.2...among other things, it breaks the 8.3 
character DOS file name limits, and is supposed to be significantly faster.
OS/2 is supposed to eventually evolve into having a modular file system, 
where a single system could have DOS partitions, HPFS partitions, UN*X
partitions, and so forth, all in the same system, with the internal 
differences being hidden from the applications (as I understand it).
Anyone know the nitty gritty on HPFS???
