You won't be able to modify these. Filesystems mounted with mount_ntfs can't modify resident files. If you create a small file it will be nonresident, and you should be able to edit it (providing you don't fall foul of the other NTFS writing restrictions). -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ The Java disclaimer: values of 'anywhere' may vary between regions.
