Why not look into writing a device/filesystem driver? Would fit in more neatly, and be more flexible (-> Win NT/98/2K)... no? Wouldn't require raving insanity either ;) One might even be able to layer FAT on top of EXT2. Wouldn't that be nice?! I wonder if cygwin can produce VXD's/.386 etcetera? .. You could assemble them manually, if not.. john -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
