Re: elkslibc+ libc addon and sto file archiver

I can't get the files online yet. I just burned them to a CD, and it
seems that this Windows-based laptop can't read the damned disk! Not
suprising, Windows has had a track record for barfing all over CR-RW
discs.

And people wonder why I use Linux... (and 9,999 other
reaso^H^H^H^H^Hproblems with Windows as well)

One thing about STO is that is CAN support directories without
modifying the file format, all it needs is for someone to make it
aware of the directory st_mode flag from stat(2).

As it is, if stat() reports a filesize greater than 0 for the
directory, the archive gets corrupted (I think). This does not apply
to FreeBSD, where you can fread() directories and retrive the
filesystem's directory data.

sync.c from elkslibc+ compiles for i386 linux with all known
compilers. (anything not bcc uses the same inline asm syntax)ret
