OS/2's HPFS also had alternate data streams, called Extended Attributes. You'd make two calls to DosQueryFileInfo() - the first time to get the size of any EAs so you could allocate a buffer, then call it again to read the contents into the buffer. It got used occasionally - not a lot. I had a newsgroup reader that would store the date of the last time you downloaded items for a group in an EA (of the file that had the items). |
