Well go on. Explain how you would, f.ex., provide an abstract API over file ownership and access permissions between Win32 and Unix? I don’t see such a thing being possible at all: there are too many differences with pervasive consequences. The most you can reasonably do (AFAICT) is map Win32-style owner/access info to a Unix-style API for reading only. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
