Yes. > And can I look at how boost::filesystem does this? You can't copy any code, that would be a copyright violation. It's OK to see which Windows API functions Boost uses for a particular filesystem operation, but if you're not sure what is covered by copyright law then it's safer not to use another project at all. I was hoping that somebody who actually knows the Windows API would contribute the code, so they already know what the appropriate functions are.
