I guess I should have specified -- I'm actually using metakit via C++ here. We have a module that provides a Microsoft COM IStorage interface that uses a meakit virtual filesystem as the backend.

You can probably leave out the contents to create a much | smaller test set. Thats going to be tricky. So far our guys have about 100 such files up to around 1GB in size.

I wish I knew how they did it. :( Pat Thoyts -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iQCVAwUBQqh/0GB90JXwhOSJAQJGoAP/WMt5ExByx1FNub+87EOonL+fSk0+owBz fUQjonPRzcRIauH4+ZuuPsEwz3w+gGyg1TtrxFgKZc9Wsc7wmoTdPU/1k3twyucC TCGFzSZvNAodZ9Fx8b8nnl/QnL5cXcPnzWGVIn/CZRzw8nsz6s1+qPSXc8KEE4L5 g/SC2E469gg= =5lXT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _____________________________________________ Metakit mailing list - [email protected] http://www.equi4.com/mailman/listinfo/metakit
