I'm sure a few people might like that. :) I won't be It would be really great if you could do that. In fact I would love to roll our code into the public domain, but honestly I don't feel up to fighting the necessary legal tussle to convince our people. I did briefly consider redeveloping a FAT filesystem at home using drive image files and stdio to simulate the underlying block driver, but I decided that it is in too much of a gray area ethically. (Besides, who the heck has time to work out of hours? I haven't been able to do a personal project for years...) I'll be happy to contribute any help short of actually writing your code, too. My FS code is about a year and a half old now, and pretty thoroughly debugged. === Lewin A.R.W.
