Of course not. You have installed the module in a different way, so 
you would not even have a place where you could put a !Run file.

No. Either you install the module in a subdirectory as suggested in 
the Wiki, then that subdirectory needs a !Run file, or you place the 
module in PreDesk directly, in which case there is no need for a run 
file, nor an obvious location where you could place one anyway.

Thanks for the lucid explanation, Martin. Sorry so long replying - been away.

Where exactly do you load v0.85, and what do you mean by '...with
my UNIpod ...'?

I find (on my RO v4.39) I am running that version though I do not
have the DOSFS directory and contents given on the ROOL site. I
must be loading it elsewhere. I have searched unsuccesfully using
!Locate and !Verma.

The DOSFS v0.75 in ROM is dormant, and the DOSFS 0.67 in
!Boot.Utils.RO4Patches.!Run, which dates from 2004, I have
disabled by a '|'. 


Brian.

A reference to the original post which concerned the use of a flash
drive with Unipod.

Unless you have an application which is loading it, DOSFS 0.85 must be
_somewhere_ in Boot. If Locate can't find a file named DOSFS, maybe its
filename has been changed. Try using Locate to search Boot for files
whose _contents_ include DOSFS. That should find the module, and the
obey file which loads it.

I remembered.  DOSFS is one of the modules I load from an obey
file activated from Configuration -> Boot -> Run. It lives with
other stuff in a 'private' directory called !Boot+ where I can
get at it added without digging about in !Boot.  DOSFS v0.87 is
now installed there.

The modules in my !Boot.Utils.RO4Patches remain disabled  - see
my posting <525c50f027bric-nospam@argonet.co.uk> earlier in this
thread.


Brian.

Use a newer version of DOSFS (eg from ROOL download site), or use
Fat32FS?
