This is an idea I like, and while I don't think it will become the default way wine operates ever, I wonder if a suitable abstraction layer might assist us. I see it this way - wine will need a full NTFS redirector at some point, to correctly handle remote fileystems. Why is the local disk any different from a remote redirected filesystem? Samba could be hooked in at this point (and my even assist in providing access to those remote files). I also don't know much about win32 programming, but anyway :-) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett http://samba.org/~abartlet/ Authentication Developer, Samba Team http://samba.org Student Network Administrator, Hawker College http://hawkerc.net
