Any large (>120MB) FAT based filesystem uses space very, very, very
inefficiently, but both MSWin and Linux can read and write in it.  I was
hoping you'd found a driver for WinXP that would allow normal programs
full access to a Linux native filesystem.

That would work.  I would normally start cmd.exe in Run, cd to the
download directory, and then run the two .exe files in turn.
