I wrote the driver using NTFS volume formated under NT 3.51, it also seems
there was no major changes up to NT 4.0. NT 5.0 claimed to have newed
NTFS, but i don't know as there is no documentation. At first look and in
my case, it still works with 5.0.

[About having swap on NTFS volume?] No, i wouldn't... Though this seemed
to work 2 years ago, It may seriously harm your NTFS volume. Sorry...

Bye!
