The author has GPL'd the source, but it requires a commercial VXD tool package called VtoolsD ($495). Does anyone here know if someone else has attempted this task? If not for Win9x, then maybe for native DOS? I'm not interested in NT solutions, since I don't have NT and don't want it. Alternatively, does anyone know if there are any VXD tool packages out there which are compatible with DJGPP GCC and provide similar or approximate functionality as VtoolsD? I'd be willing to hack the sources to change the toolset if an alternative set were available. I just want to be able to read the contents of my linux partitions when I'm booted to Win9x in a DOS box, R/W support is not necessary. ---------------------------------------------------- Peter J.
