I'll see if I can track it down. Good luck, it's out of print AFAIK. However, if you can track it down anyway, it's by Helen Custer and the magic number is ISBN 1-55615-660-X. At 88 pages, it's hardly worth the effort. You may be better off with Inside Windows NT, 2nd edition by David Solomon. ISBN 1-57231-677-2. The NTFS chapter is based on, and seems mostly identical to, Custer's book. It's also a pretty good book for knowing thine enemy's internals. Also, I think the O'Reilly book is mostly about writing NT file system drivers than NTFS itself. -- [ Alastair Rankine ] [ mailto:alastair@cia.com.au ] [ http://www.cia.com.au/alastair ] [ pgp5 64E4 B67C D2B7 EEC4 63C9 AA74 F63A 9AD9 E44B 21C7 ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
