This directory archives historical documentation from the Windows 9x team
that was retrieved before the group disbanded. Thanks to BillKru, PeteS
and AaronR.
As new stuff is created it should be archived here too, but the originals
should remain visible.
fat32.doc A brief overview of FAT32 changes from 1996.
fatgen102-efi.doc AaronR's original treatise on FAT as he wrote up
for the EFI initiative. This is a near
specification of FAT up to FAT32 minus long names.
fatgen103-efi.doc DanLo's update to include LFN, again for EFI. This
will probably serve as the basis for a future
non-EFI encumbered spec. The LFN material is
lifted off of lfnmedia-ext.doc with minor edits.
lfnmedia-ext.doc An edited version of lfnmedia.doc, removing DOS
API specific sections and removing codenames. It
is a standalone LFN specification (for externals).
lfnmedia.doc BillKru and Russ Arun's LFN specification from 1994.
lfnmed_2.doc An addendeum to lfnmedia.doc that talks about some
specific utility issues LFNs created.
lfnpaper.doc Talks about Win95 filesystem changes, primarily but
not exclusively about LFNs.
shortname.doc A description of the RtlGenerate8dot3 algorithim for
those inevitable questions.
