Greetings, Dave Korn! >> Erm... how about ":type" suffix? Don't know how "POSIXy" it is, but it's close >> enough to similar functionality of NTFS (file streams). > To save having the whole discussion again, here's the summary from last time: > http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2006-03/msg00003.html *carefully raising eyebrows* Thanks for the link. I didn't though about cross-compatibility issues, and these concerns are understandable. My opinion is that there's no solution to the p.3 due to the fact that files don't have strict typization (other than file/directory/reparse). Using some kind of suffixing won't do much because it raising a mountain of ambiguity due to a wide range of characters allowed in value names (including "/:?*" as well as more trivial commas and dots, which are also allowed in file names) -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon AT freemail DOT ru) 04.06.2010, <1:05> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
