hihi
13:26
<@Reiver>
Is generally fairly quiet.
13:26 * Chalcedon is muddled
13:26
<@Reiver>
But is occasional convo, y'know?
13:27
< Chalcedon>
this is easy at half past midnight
13:27
< TheWatcher[wr0k]>
Aye. I'm only on 4 channels anyway :)
13:28
<@Reiver>
Incidentally, meet Chalcedon. Biologist, fledgling coder, and fellow NZer.
13:28
<@Reiver>
She occasionally feeds me, too.
13:28 * Chalcedon waves
13:29 * Chalcedon ought to go to bed
13:29
< Chalcedon>
I'm more intelligible/intelligent whilst awake
13:29 * TheWatcher[wr0k] wavesback
13:30
< TheWatcher[wr0k]>
Heh, that's often the case.
13:31 * Chalcedon warms her pjs
13:32
< TheWatcher[wr0k]>
And for the hell of it: TheWatcher, TW, Chris, general hacker, coder, purveyor of creeping insanity in perl form, 3D modeller, part time angel.
13:32
< Chalcedon>
part time angel?
13:33
<@Reiver>
He's another one of we White Knights.
13:33
<@Reiver>
Forever lending a hand, even when we shouldn't. ;)
13:33
< Chalcedon>
ah :)
13:33
< Chalcedon>

Idly Reiv, how goes your excursion into tuxland?
13:34
<@Reiver>
I am poking at it a lot.
13:35

Symlinks are all well and good until I remember I need to release on windows as well.

<@jerith>
Gah!
17:54
<@jerith>
Windows sucks for that kind of thing.
17:55
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Precisely my point.
17:56
<@jerith>
Doesn't NTFS do symlinks?
17:57
<@jerith>
Of course, enough people still run on FAT32...
18:02
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Not...quite.
18:02
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
NTFS on NT doesn't support any form of symlinks.
18:02
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
NTFS on 2k and XP supports symlinks, but only between directories, not files, and there's no API to create or manipulate them.
18:03
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
So if you want to use symlinks, you need to write your own link() implementation in terms of DeviceIoControl().
18:04
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Vista will, supposedly, support true symlinks. I remain skeptical.
18:04
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
And yes, as you pointed out, this helps not at all on FAT, and this needs to work on win9x systems.
