Re: Looking for C programmers
I'm not sure if this is possible, but if I were to make a FAT clone and make it somehow compatible with windows (make it think its FAT) but add more features that can only be used when you use it with Sendla. What do you guys think?

Re: Looking for C programmers
This should be possible, in theory. In fact, I believe this is essentially what Microsoft did with the VFAT of the Win95 days, in order to kludge in LFN support.
I believe there are unused fields in file/directory entries that can be (ab)used for this purpose. Another solution is to maintain a hidden system file in each directory that holds the data specific to your FAT implementation, and were I attempting this, that's probably the route I'd take. Using undocumented features of anything is a risky proposition, at best, unless you have control over the thing in question, and can thus ensure future revisions won't break old code.

Re: Looking for C programmers
Thats a good idea lectric, it would save me the time to program one from scratch. But I guess I could only call my idea of SOFT(Sendla OS File Table) and addon rather than a filesystem, but no worries. At least now, I wont get flamed by people claiming that I lost their dataz. They can blame Bill Gates and his army of monkeymen for that ^^. Btw, I noticed somthing in ld, whats the difference between -t and -T?
