Summary: Defrag does not work on FAT32
Product: Defrag Reporter: Imre Leber <imre.leber@worldonline.be>

Defrag is not tested to work on FAT32. I'll fix that

DEFRAG for FAT32 will probably only work on 386+ with
enough free memory. I think it is more important that
the 8086 compatible standard DEFRAG.EXE does not TRY to
work on FAT32. Instead, it has to display an error message
(and possibly tell the user to use the 386 enhanced version
of DEFRAG instead).

Bonus wish: The /LCD and /BW color schemes should be made
available. Thanks!

In principle, FAT32 support for all disk utilities is not required for FreeDOS 
1.0, but of course, it is welcome.
However, this bug remains as a reminder that, if FAT32 is found, and is not 
supported, then Defrag should just issue an error message and exit (when this 
is done, it can be considered a wish/enhancement, and thus change severity 
to "enhancement")

Changing severity now that Defrag exits safely on FAT32

Defrag >= 1.2 now supports FAT32 disks.
