Allow me to reprase it again: You CANNOT run Hiarcs 6 in NTFS, only in FAT16
under Windows NT 4.... So unless you have your hard drive partitioned to 2
Gibabytes maximum limit for FAT16, Hiarcs WON'T run under Windows NT 4.0...
So if you really want to run it under NT, you must create a FAT16 partition.
Best of luck...
