[comp.os.os2.programmer] IFS driver writing?

rommel@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE (Kai-Uwe Rommel) (05/19/91)

Did anyone ever write a driver for an installable file system? Is this
very difficult? If so, can it be simplified if there are no serious
performance requirements?

DOS ... is still a real mode only non-reentrant interrupt
handler, and always will be.                -Russell Williams

    The IFS interface for writing File System Drivers (FSD) is unpublished,
and will remain so.

Really? Novell managed to write IFS drivers for their OS/2 Netware
requesters...
