Fsck uses short for inode number. (Sco xenix [23]86)

Mkfs manual states that you can only specify up to 65500 inodes in 
the command line, but you can arrange a proto file to have more than
that.

The problem with doing so is that almost every utility that comes
with xenix thinks that an inode number is < 2^16. Fsck belongs to
this family...

Has anybody managed to make a large filesystem with more than 64K 
inodes in xenix ? 

Sco guys: Have you a fsck that can work with such a filesystem ?
