Hmm, I can't remember any obsolete GEMDOS-calls right now, but you're
possibly right. However, if this is the case then it doesn't matter whether
you keep TOSFS or not, as TOSFS is just a layer over GEMDOS. So if you're
using > 1.02 you're screwed anyway (if TOSFS even supports these obsolete
calls at all).

I think we said this the last time - this has nothing to do with TOSFS being
present or not. ext2fs doesn't emulate the old API completely, this is even
stated in the docs. If you want to use these old apps, use a different
filesystem or add the needed functionality to ext2fs.
