I still think we should use the Linux-style file
system, BUT use drive
letters as shortcuts.
Somehow...
We can store files compatibleto the Unix File System Hierarchie, but we
will not be able to use paths like /dev/mouse or /usr/local/bin/gcc, because
this
is not WIN32 compatible. But we could use "\\mybox\dev\mouse" and
"\\mybox\local\bin\gcc" instead. This UNC path names are supported
by WIN32. We only have to map them to the correct files. There is no
need to use SMB and share the "\\mybox\..." folders via the network.
A little extension to directly map them to the WIN32 file system is enough.
Regards,
Martin
