In the FAQ, section 3, question 9, How to configure your system for
DJGPP, the switches to
enable the 'delayed-write' feature in SmartDrv are given to be '/N/F'.
Does this mean that
the command has to be
smartdrv /n/f
?
If yes, then it is strange. Here's what 'smartdrv /?' has to say :-

/X            Disables write-caching for all drives
.
.
.
/F            Writes cached data before command prompt returns
(default).
/N            Doesn't write cached data before command prompt returns.
.
The /N/F switches should not work together, should they?

By the way, it is rather strange that no one else saw this before.
Shows how many people
actually read the FAQ. :-)
