Hello Chen,

I have a lot of experience with file systems, but a little more explaination what a "compound file" is would help. Best would be an example.

Bye

Thanks for the reply. To my understanding, the Microsoft Compound File is a "file system in a file". On disk, it can be a binary file of any file system (NTFS, FAT or HFS), but the data inside this file is organized like a folder-tree. Yes and unfortunately, it is originally a feature of Ms Window, I'm struggling with it when porting an Win32 application to Mac.

You should not expect the list members here to know what "Microsoft Compound File" means. Are you referring to ntfs streams by any chance? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_data_stream>
