The title says it all: are there any guides the net can recommend as background for understanding alternate filesystems? The obvious example code is Olaf Siebert's MSH, for handling MS-DOS floppies in Amiga drives. Where else can one turn for guidance and examples? -- Wes Plouff, Digital Equipment Corp, Maynard, Mass. plouff%kali.enet.dec@decwrl.dec.com "Who came out with that term, 'MULTIMEDIA', btw???

John Toebes and I wrote a series of articles in Transactor for the Amiga a year ago that cover writing a filesystem in great detail. I have also distributed source to the NET: network file system, which is based on the SDFS. ***** =*|_o_o|\\=====Doug Walker, Software Distiller====== BBS: (919)382-8265 = *|. o.| || | o |// For all you do, this bug's for you! ====== usenet: ...mcnc!rti!sas!walker plink: dwalker bix: djwalker

Check out the filesystem written by the Software Distillery and published in Amiga Transactor a while back.

To all who replied, including one by e-mail, thanks! The _Transactor_ article, while densely written, is indeed the place to look. Wes Plouff
