Hi,

i need the internal structure of extended attributes on FAT-Devices. I want to
create and access EA's on floppydisks under non-OS/2 operating systems. So i 
don't need OS/2 API's but the description of the sectors in which the EA's
reside, how they are marked in the fat and linked to the file etc.

Thanx for any hints and pointers.

PS: Someone got an idea, why OS/2 supports long (HPFS) filenames on FAT-Disks
with the WPS copying only but not with the CMD copy-command? 

Ciao,
  Steffen
