Ntifs.h

[Gabriel ilardi]

Hi Team,

I came across this site: http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/
which has some windows drivers examples, and talks about filesystem
drivers, it has a gnu version of ntifs.h (http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ntifs.h), I've
taken a look at it, and
noticed that ours misses some defines and some definitions use other types instead of
ours. I thought perhaps someone from the team would want to take a look
at it, perhaps we could use it.

Thanks.
Best regards,

Gabriel ilardi.

PS: If you already knew about it please ignore this email.

Hi,

given the status of this file, the team should rather refrain from using it. It's
known from the NTDEV mailing list, that there are accusations that the "author"
of this GPL'd version of ntifs.h you mention has basically stolen it.

This has been repeatedly brought up on the list in recent years, so it may taint the
project if you use it.

Hi,
We need to sync.... Based on past practice, look at Ralf Brown's
Interrupt List! It was all based on someone, some where knowing just a
tiny bit of information. Ralf just put it all together. The BS from
NTDEV, it's another example of newbies M$ agents over looking what is
permissible in the US. I would think these newbies believe that IE
came before NS!
