Where are you looking? Where does it make this claim?

My CONFIG.SYS contains this line:

IFS=G:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q

and I have

Directory of G:\OS2\BOOT
2-16-99 11:39a 45173 0 CDFS.IFS

When I type HELP CDFS and look at the CDFS.IFS online help there's no
mention of a /w option. Where are you looking?

How do I identify the CD's file system? Is there a Partition Type byte
I should look at? Is there a hidden file where the long filenames are
stored? Is there a utility which will tell me if the CD file system
"looks like" FAT, ISO 9660, Joliett ("Windows"?), or something else?
And where do I find the specs for these various CD "file systems"?

Is there a different setting which should be used when Windows (I think
he has Win98) creates a CD so that the long filenames may be read by
OS/2?

The files are still on the studio's hard drive. I can have them make
new CDs if there's a different setting which should be used.

Thanks _very_ much, guys.
