For older MiNT versions this is somewhat problematic but it will The kernel (or whoever decides, maybe the FS) should produce an unimplemented function error code, so that the lib *knows* that it failed. Ignoring error codes for programs that do check them is not good idea IMHO, and might cause other security problems. Could the kernel emulate the functionality (in a not race-clean way) when the FS does not support it? cu Michael -- Michael Schwingen, Ahornstrasse 36, 52074 Aachen
