I'm not going to support umsdos/uvfat (or it will be dead last on my
priority list) because I don't use it. In my view, fatish filesystems
should be used to access data that you need to get to from a non-ext2
supporting OS, like DOS. I don't know what you meen about uncompressing
arj/zip files (IE what this has to do with uvfat)... and I have never
heard of xdenu (looking it up now...) ahh... "With Xdenu you can easily use
your PC as Xterminal." -- What does this have to do with umsdos/uvfat?
Remember that this is not designed to replace the existing
msdos,vfat,umsdos,uvfat... filesystems. This is a learning tool for me,
and it will likely be many months (years, even)... untill this is anything
close to ready to use on a not-ready-to-have-daily-crashes system. I'm not
even going to use it myself for mainstreem stuff, I'm going to register the
"fatish" fs, to avoid any name-clashes...
As an aside, I thought of 2 things I forgot to mention...
1) I'm planning to use the cluster-number of the first cluster of the file
as the inode number...
Does anybody see a problem with this? Other than that you wouldn't be able
to defrag a mounted fatish filesystem... but as I like to say "deal."
2) Yes, I know that these messages are back-dated by a week... don't ask.
