Have you ported the BSD FFS? We have managed to add file ownership capabilities to FAT and HPFS. The mechanism will be published with the release documentation. As far as porting the BSD FFS... we are working on it, but in a low-priority mode. We want to be able to support existing OS/2 and NT customer base and allow UNIX developers to bring their apps to OS/2 and NT first. This project should allow a UNIX developer to take their existing UNIX apps, recompile and relink them on OS/2 and NT, and bring them to the PC market as painlessly as possible. The result will be: using the PCBSD development environment, existing UNIX programs will run on PCs, and new PC and UNIX programs will run on both systems. -- --------------------------------- ------------------------------ -- PCBSD Development Manager -- -- Service Commitment Support -- --------------------------------- ------------------------------
