It's at least semi-relevant. ;) But it would depend on the filesystem type. For example, I know there are drivers to let Win95 (and I think NT) read CDROMS using the RockRidge format. (If you don't know what Rock Ridge is, take a look at an Infomagic Linux CDROM sometime...) On the other hand, if something exists to allow Win95/NT to read minix filesystems natively, I DON'T know of it. --Jeremy - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
