- To me, this implies use of the Mirrors product. Which means it's a
- Windows program running through an additional API layer doing Win/PM

- I hope they rewrite the necessary features to allow HPFS filenames,
- use of extended attributes (ie, on FAT systems listing files by
- .LONGNAME), and so on, or this could be a big disappointment.
