i've been running the universal flavor of allfix for many years... my system
is OS/2 Warp 3 Connect with hpfs drives... i make sure that i load a module so
that the 2gig overflow stuff is hidden from DOS programs... however, this
doesn't work on the OS/2 side so i've always run my allfix from the DOS side...

so, i've had a problem for a long time where allfix would tell me that it
could not move a file due to lack of drive space... however, if i manually
removed the duplicate that would be replaced, then the allfix would properly
move the new file to where it needed to be... it has been frustrating enough
that i was just going to turn off some of the areas that this happens in all
the time... yeah, i did turn off space checking in the setup but it didn't
help...

then the other day i found the command line option -NoSpaceChk and was quite
surprised to find that it works! YAY!!! no more full BADTICS directory and the
files are properly moved...

the strange thing is that the configs are set (via setup) to not check drive
space and REPLACE is allowed... so i don't understand why it was telling me no
space on destination when it should not have even been looking... possibly an
erroneous error message? it should maybe have been another one?

either way, i wanted to share the news that i finally fixed a problem i've had
for a decade or better and just never really talked about out here :)
