   Has anyone else ever reformatted their hard disks (20 megabytes or under)
in 1k clusters?  I just did this tonight, and it seems to work just fine.  I
saved about 6-700k in the process (I'm running a Fido, so I've got lots of
files [messages] under the 1k mark).  Anyway, it seems that chkdsk can't
handle the cluster size.  [I suppose I should mention that I'm using DOS 3.1
-- for various reasons].
   Has anyone else run into this sort of problem?  Are there any patches
around?  Are there any other areas where I can expect trouble due to the
reduced cluster size, or increased FAT size?  Any help or pointers would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
