  OK. No rush,  as I said I'm waiting on hardware before I can do anything
constructive.

   You're about to change into superman? :-)

  Err - that's NT isn't it?  Certainly the user side of things.

  Well given that I don't know the win32 API,  and I'm not particulary
interested in learning it - perhaps not.  I'm more interested in the dirty
little kernel details - or even the win95 user stuff 'cause it's a cute
fudge to get the job done.

  I would be interested in the Win NT IFS stuff,  but since I don't have
the IFS kit ($2000 and US access only),  there's not a lot I can do there.
However,  going by the types of mail on the NT-IFS mailing list,  it will
be 'interesting' for whomsoever does it.
