The Vfeature Deluxe package from Golden Bow Systems allows you to 'break'
the 32 Meg barrier.  You can also partition your disk drive into many DOS
volumes, with optional password security for each volume.  I have been using
this with my AT using a maxtor 1065 hard disk (55 Mbytes formatted) for many
weeks now and have had no problems.  It's great to see chkdsk show 55 Mbytes
available!

Golden Bow Systems

Vfeature Deluxe costs $120

This is the same software described in a recent PC Tech Journal, and it is
used by Emerald, et. al.  I have no connection with Golden Bow except as a
very satisfied customer.
