- Subject: TOSFS ...

- Yes I think Julian's idea of dir cluster and index is best, otherwise the
- zero length files indoe number could change. Using zero for the root dir
- is also advisable (root dir is a special case). This has the advantage of
- being an index to the dir entry in all cases ansd is thus a close analogue
- to a 'real' inode number.
- In fact this is exactly what I used for a low level TOSfs which I
- half wrote (which was put to one side after Atari took MiNT up). I made
- the assumption that when the source was 'available' to the real tosfs, a
- more MiNt aware version would be forthcoming.
- I might pick it up again if I can find it, I'm sure I could make
- it as quick as Minixfs ...
- Steve.
