I asked some time ago on this newsgroup requesting specifics of the HPFS filing
system. Since then I've had some basics posted to me by Bruce O'Neel (sp?) (ta
muchly) and I've also sent a request to the AsiaPacific DAP co-ordinator.

From what I got from the DAP person, the specifics are in a microsoft
publication which IBM cannot give to me due to the politicking going on at the
moment.

So what I really need to know are ways and means to contact microsoft. Are they
on the net? Is there someone in particular that I should talk to? Remember, I
live in Australia so 'phoning is not (usually) an option. If someone could help
here it would be much appreciated.

The reason I need the internals is (a) to write a HPFS filing system for MS-DOS
and (b) to write one for Linux. If anyone has done either of these before
(filing systems that is) then their input would also be much appreciated.

Thank _you_ for your time,

Simon
