Hai,
> P.S.: ahh - and: how about 9P Clients and Servers for MS-Win*?
I can comment on that. Getting the facts, Microsoft once wrote some API so that anyone, with the right SDK, could write virtual file system drivers - they actually presented that stuff via a ftpfs, which made me optimistic that, if one gets this SDK, 9p4win32 could be written.
The big pro about that would be that a 9p-client would be 100% integrated in the Operating System - you would be able to see the 9p-connection/server in 'My Computer' like any other drive (virtual or not). I think that's what Nokia uses for their PC-Suite btw, in case you are a customer of this great company and their great.. eh.. Anyway
Then I saw the price of that SDK. It's arround hundred-and-something United States bucks, just for the SDK. If you are seriously gonna look into this, drop me a private mail and I will search for the presentations I collected on that topic, etc.
For servers tho, it could be a normal userspace program listening on a socket. Boring but possibly easier (cheaper)
Mfg, Sascha
