I'd like to write an Image Filing system. Starting with a basic knowledge of C/C++ where do I go with that? Documents, sample code anyone?

There's something on http://www.duffell.riscos.me.uk as far as sample code goes (SoundFS I think). I think it's a "real" FS though, but at least it's in C. See how you get on, I might be able to find some other stuff on my HD if I search around, but I'll only bother if you want it.

Any more q, just ask.

Acorn had some example code in C, can't remember where

Well, this will keep me busy for a good long while. (Nothing quite like throwing yourself in at the deep end to see if u can swim.)

I was going for an image filing system because I wanted FS behaviour/interface, and I wanted to use its 'image' as a source of parameters - but thats something I can worry about a long time in the future. I might have some more questions once I've finished reading the sourcecode.

Many thx.

Heh I'm sure you'll swim eventually :)

You are supposed to do parameters like SoundFS#param=hello;food=fish: i.e. in the special field. Although if there's a *lot* needed you might get in trouble. Basically whether the contents of the FS are derived from the contents of the file, although LinkFS (or whatever it was called) was a bit of a special case on that front.

What is it you're actually doing?

It'll sound a bit dumb until I've had a bit of a success. But it will, I hope, eventually provide a useful alternative to one of the most piss annoying pieces of software I have allowed to reside on my rpc (and paid for the privilege).
