Hi Imre, it would be nice if you could "port" it to Windows.
I'm currently considering some ideas in reactos project (to be discussed between reactos developers), but I like the idea of providing some utilities and maybe drivers (when we have some ready) in a standalone releases, so that we distinct alpha, beta and production-stage modules in our tree.
This should help maintaining the code in the repository, and, first of all, it's usable for people, who want to actually switch to *better* and opensource utilities.

Well, the reason I ask is that i am also maintaining a defrag utility.
It currently does FAT12, FAT16, FAT32. But it would most likely not be so difficult to change it so that it can use the reactos calls for manipulating the file system. So it also works with NTFS.
It has a lot more functionality then is available in windows defrag. Like sorting directories, which I think is not possible in windows. And 5 methods of defragmenting drives.
A new interface should also be easy to add. There have always been two interfaces. So the all the file system manipulation code is completely seperate.
The defragmentation code already works in windows xp, on image files, because that is how i debug it with visual C++ 7.1.
So, you can tell me wether this would be of interest to reactos.

What is actually the scope of the reactos project?
Just being able to run windows drivers and apps, or "everything that was on the CD" (like FreeDOS)?
