[ros-dev] Command line

[Aleksey Bragin]

We are really in demand of a working check-disk utility, so I gladly  
accept any correctly working version compatible with Windows (as in:  
not depending on specific ReactOS's features).
It doesn't stop us from implementing fmifs.dll, uFILESYSTEM.dll's,  
etc too. Even helps, I would say.


WBR,
