Excellent. > I have a few suggestions on how it could be further > improved. There are some issues with what you describe. * Win9x has no interprocess security. ANY security can be bypassed with ~3 Win32 system calls. * On NT FAT drives, using Cygwin=NTEA will give you a similar result to what you describe. Lastly, there is an existing standard for putting *nix overlays onto a FAT drive. It's called UMSDOS, and I've a patch set for cygwin floating around somewhere that goes some way towards implementing it.
