That, and putting the theing in would be like dipping a vestal virgin in raw sewage. 8-|. NTFS is pretty trivial, even if you need to write to it... the only real roadblock is how VOP_ABORTOP is named as if it were a transaction abort, but coded to free cn_pnbuf's (dumb). The Helen Custer book and a ZIP driver are generally enough to allow you, with a working NT system, to see how the log files are laid out, such that you can write them safely.
