Phoebus Dokos makes some magical things to make me read } } The QLWA is basically from what I recall, a patchwork of a FAT-12 } organization (ie Atari GEMDOS modified partition) with link-lists for FAT } (and lacking fat 2).
That's tell me nothing, because I do not know FAT-12 either! } The subdirectories are really pointers to files } IIRC... In any case I have notes on everything which I could dig up if } needed. If I could at least understand what is the purpose of the map, and how to interpret a directory file (how it grow/shrink/...) In simple term, without holly reference to another format (It looks like the QL5A/B/C formats also have a kind of map...) I believe small examples would work best with me! } Wolfgang with his extensive research on the matter could answer } better that question I'd guess.... } } How about however scrapping the QLWA and writing either an Ext2FS driver or } something else (and new, and better ie. more secure)? First, I want to understand the current format so far. Then, I will see what I can do... By the way, you're out dated, ext3fs is out! (but I do not believe we need that! Even Ext2fs looks really too complex) } > } > Or would I have to read the code and figures it out myself ? } > } } That ALWAYS helps :-) But finding the meaning and limits of a field from the code is not an easy task. Especially when the structure is used field by field when needed... Synthetic description are easier too understand.
