Hi, Mike.

Do you mean, CDFS is supposed to support it already, or IBM should change
CDFS to support it?

Also it has symbolic and hard links, which I have often wished for in HPFS.
I know I could use TVFS -- when I get a larger hard drive and more memory I
probably will -- but it's too resource-hungry to make it worthwhile on a
hard drive as small(ish) as mine.

I would offer to help but I know about as much about IFS programming as the
Pope knows about errogenous zones, so I wouldn't be a lot of help.

Good thing too! :-)

Andrew.
