Hi, I am looking for a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem for embedded projects. I expect that the source code is written C and free of charge Goggle helped me to find "DOSFS" from ZWS.COM. As it is not possible for me to unpack the file which I downloaded, it is not possible tp make a proper evaluation. Any one have the project in a readable format? Do you know other free embedded FAT32 or NTFS filesystems? -- Kind Regards Jens There are 10 kind of people in this world, those who understand the binary number system, and those who do not.....

No, there are *two* kinds of people in the world: - those who think there are two kinds of people in the world; and - those who don't!

I doubt that you will find support for NTFS; Microsoft protects it as a trade secret. There are legal issues around FAT32 also, but so far the lawyers have been kept locked in their cages. Expecting that source code be written in C and be free of charge is a bit much. Open source is about paying forward, not demanding hand- outs. RK

As such I don't expect the OP to have WinRAR, perhaps even unaware of the free alternative multiplatform graphical archiving tools.> But then I've USED computers for 30+ years.

I always recommend 7z (<http://www.7-zip.org/>). It is free and open source. Infozip is an alternative (last I heard, WinZIP used Infozip's libraries - that's allowed by the Infozip license, but it always struck me as unreasonable for the WinZIP developers to want paid for simply putting a pretty face on Infozip's hard work). It is perhaps also worth noting that the RAR format is heavily associated with unlicensed software (and other media) copies. There is no technical reason for this (technically, it's just another compressed container format, like zip, 7z or tgz) - it's simply a matter of the format and associated WinRAR program being popular in that area.>> But then I've USED computers for 30+ years.

There are plenty of free tools to extract this. In windows, 7-Zip will work fine. See: http://www.7-zip.org/
