Hello Peter!
Saturday November 20 1999 from Peter Knapper 3:772/1.10 to All:
PK> If a file has EA's, does the OS/2 COPY command copy EA's -
PK> 1. Between a file copied to the SAME partition?
PK> 2. Between partitions/drives on the same machine?
PK> 3. Between machines connected using OS/2 Peer Services?
PK> I would expect 1 to be YES, 2 to be YES, 3 possibly...
All three YES. #3 - not only using OS/2 Peer Services but also to/from Warp
Server HPFS386 disks _and_, what's interesting, also to/from shared NTFS disks
of WinNT 4 (Server or Workstation). Certainly WinNT itself doesn't know
anything about OS/2 EA's, but it can store and retrieve EA's just OK. :-)
For example, best OS/2 image viewer - PMView - forms so called thumbnails
(small icon-like copies of image) inside EA of image file. It does that
successfully even if image file at the moment happens to be on NTFS disk under
WinNT system.
Best wishes, Harry
