I don't think so!  Last time I checked the NT file systems driver docs were
practically non-existant, and I don't fancy spending a couple of thousand on
a course in the US for it!  It'd also mean a separate version for Win9x, tho
the documentation is better. I made a start on Win9x version a while back
but didn't get very far through it before getting bored!

It's more likely that an Explorer namespace extension is written to support
the disk images in the same way as the MS CAB viewer.  It'll only work from
Explorer, but should make it very easy to copy files in and out of images.
Something similar could probably be done for dealing with real disks, but
I've not really thought very far down that track.  Something I'll probably
do first is an Explorer property-sheet handler for the disk images, which
would give an authentic SAM directory list on a property tab.  That could
even support drag-n-drop as an alternative to the name space extension.

So much to do, so little time to do it...
