I agree that when Wine is emulating FAT on some other file system, waiting for a kernel with EA support is a reasonably strategy. However, I do not yet understand why this kernel support is required when the physical file system is FAT. Does not the VFAT ioctl read and write the actual directory entries in such a case? -- Chuck Crayne ----------------------------------------------------------- ccrayne(a)crayne.org -----------------------------------------------------------
