Actually, I have a legacy file-based ODBC driver. I dont have its source code, and i want to expedite its performance. I am not sure if i change the ODBC settings, file path like "myproto://c:\path2\fil1.fgd" would work. Can somethibng like fopen("ftp://server/file.asd", "r") work? i am not sure

I learned that memory mapped files are not what you want, however, a number of the list participants had some great suggestions for other ways to do this, the most promising (IMHO) was creating a pluggable protocol. I don't have a URL handy, but I know there is a tutorial on one of the major .net sites, and there may be a link from the thread linked to below.
