( it isn't clear from the install INF that Ed emailed - it mentions EAs for images while they're on hard disk, but not for the individual files being backed up ) For that matter, does OS2's CDFS cater for EAs attached to individual files? ( there is room in the data CD format for Extended Attributes - operating system not specified - but not much detail about whether companies are using it ).

Also saves [at least] directory ACLs in the zip! AFAIK none of the conventional IFSes write EAs to removable oprical media - but possibly UDF.IFS does [?] There is also provision in the UDF specifications to use it with hard-disks, in addition to optical media. -- Regards, Mike Failed the exam for -------------------- MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert -------------------- [ISP blocks *.exe, *.cmd, * dot com, *.bat, *.reg attachments] [Please use zipped versions of above] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 20:50:36 +1100 (AEDT) From: "Alan Duval" Subject: Broadband setup HI, Thanks to everyone who have given advice re changing to Broadband.
