(I remember on for Windows 98 and one for Windows 2000). They generally don't tend to be kept up to date very well, since they require access to propietary software to development. Technically that makes them a violation of the GPL, but I generally don't bother with following up after the GPL violation, figuring that being forced to use Windows is generally punishment enough. If someone were to actually ask me, I'd probably give permission to use libext2fs with a Windows filesystem SDK, as long as the resulting driver was given away free of charge. Of course, I can only speak for that portion of libext2fs which is mine (probably around 95-97%). - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
