http://www.softlookup.com/display.asp?id=25391 NTFS for Windows 98 v1.03 Description: NTFS file system driver which allows you to access any NTFS drives present on your system. Once you install the program, any NTFS (New Technology File System) drives present on your system become fully accessible as native Windows 98 volumes. NTFS for Windows 98 takes a unique approach to providing cross-platform file system support. Rather than implement code to read and write NTFS drives, the program uses the NTFS and NTOSKRNL system files from a Windows NT or Windows 2000 configuration. It wraps the Windows NT/2000 NTFS driver in a run-time environment that simulates the Windows NT environment the NTFS driver is written to use. Thus, NTFS for Windows 98 does not rely on potentially unreliable reverse-engineered information about NTFS, provides ultimate compatibility with NTFS, and takes advantage of Microsoft NTFS bug fixes whenever you update the NTFS driver file it uses to a more recent version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
