We're putting together a file conversion/copying program running under OS/2, and weren't really sure about how HPFS' extended attributes fit into the grand scheme of things. It seems unclear from everything I've read so far about how extended attributes were going to be used by Microsoft or by OS/2 & PM apps, and I was wondering what specific plans developers had out there for specific EA fields, e.g., file type, icon type, etc. Any information about what your company or organization is planning or doing with EAs would be gratefully appreciated.
