He obviously doesn't care what impression he leaves with potential
customers.  He would rather have a hissy-fit over being
criticized.  It's not my long eared gray animal that is getting
skinned.

It's poorly formatted for usenet, the line length is too long.  Sure, I 
could muck around with settings on my newsreader, and probably get it to 
look OK, but, why would I bother?

It read fine here and the formatting was consistent Mr Smartypants. 
I wonder what your code quality is like?

You would do much better with this sort of announcement if you paid
even casual attention to the formatting of your article.  This sort
of thing doesn't engender any belief in the accuracy of your code. 
In fact, I would expect it to be extremely buggy.

Dear Martin:

We have developed a DOS FAT file system for SD/MMC flash memory cards
that
allows a microcontroller to read/write files in a way that mirrors
Unix.  The
code is written in C.  The flash card can then be inserted into a PC
card
reader and the files can be "double clicked" in Windows Explorer to
open and
modify.  You can read about the freeware version of our software:
"Portable FAT
Library for MCU Applications" Circuit Cellar, March 2005. 

We also have a commercial version that we license. We would be eager
to adapt it
to suit your needs and provide full support to ensure a successful
integration
into your product.  If you are interested, please do not hesitate to
contact
me.

Best regards,
Pete Rizun

While not a flash filesystem take a look at Circuit Cellar, March 2005
(this months) ppgs 18 - 26, "Portable FAT Library for MCU
Applications" by Ivan Sham, William Hue, & Pete Rizun. It uses the
MSP430F449 but it still looks portable.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I guess the problem here is the 8051.  Most of 
the FFS's I've found are written for 16 or 32 bit processors.
