The source for the native Win32 layer is in perforce. I think the layer even gets built one can do set PERLIO=:win32:crlf dmake test >Could someone else take it over and get it finished? Sure - it should be pretty close. IIRC remaining snags were with seek/tell stuff. My worry is that it _might_ have been my mis-use of Win32 seek API that trashed the partition in the 1st place but surely NT/NTFS isn't that fragile? > > >Nicholas Clark
