Yes, the assignment was/is a hurdle for me. It turns out to be much easier to release something into the public domain (at least at my company), thus my approach. I had actually made some progress with the assignment, but it went back to ground zero when my old group was disbanded. > but what you wrote sounds somewhat like a special solution > which requires lots of new "if (is_ntfs)" tests, roughly. Sort of, although I approached it as a set of services that could replace Windows file operations with extended versions that could be selected dynamically.
