Hello,
Regarding the question:
15.Why don't we add resource forks/streams to Linux filesystems like NT has?
of section:
Section 9 - Feature specific questions
in the FAQ at, http://www.tux.org/lkml/,
and your proposition of implementing this feature at user library
level, you'll may want to add that for the programmers inclined to use
Objective-C, there is already such a library: GNUstep/Foundation, and
namely, the NSBundle class, which implement exactly this feature.
More information about GNUstep can be found at http://www.gnustep.org/
Note that there exist API from :
Java (JIGS at http://www.gnustep.it/jigs/),
Smalltalk (StepTalk at http://decef.elf.stuba.sk/~urbane/StepTalk/), and
Scheme (gstep-quile at
http://www.tiptree.demon.co.uk/gstep/guile/gstep_guile_toc.html)
to use the GNUstep Objective-C objects, therefore this class library
could be used in these languages too.
