About the Book

This text details the Windows 95 File System, depicting the role it plays in providing new opportunities and challenges for developers. Over the course of the book, Stan Mitchell progressively strips away the layers of the Win95 File System, which reside in a component named Installable File System Manager or IFSMgr, providing the reader with information for effective File System development. With this knowledge developers should have the ability to make design decisions with the vast amount of new File System features.

Table of Contents:
From IFSMgr to the Internet; Where Do Filenames Go?; Pathways to the File System; File System API Mapping; The "New" MS-DOS File System; Dispatching File System Requests; Monitoring File Activity; Anatomy of a File System Driver; VFAT: The Virtual FAT File System Driver; Virtual Memory, the Paging File, and Pagers; VCACHE: Caches Big and Small; A Survey of IFSMgr Services; VREDIR: The Microsoft Networks Client; Looking Ahead. Appendices: MultiMon - Setup, Usage, and Extensions; MultiMon - Monitor Reference; IFSMgr Data Structures; IFS Development Aids.

About the Author :
Stan Mitchell is a consulting software engineer in Silicon Valley. He specializes in driver and system level programming on the Wintel platform. Stan earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Wayne State University in 1970 and a Master of Science from University of Waterloo in 1976. He entered the microcomputer field in 1979. His early projects emphasized logic design of single-board microcomputers and micro-controllers. The most memorable project during this period was the design of a full-SCSI host adapter with 8048 firmware at Adaptec, Inc. After the introduction of the IBM-PC, Stan shifted his focus to MS-DOS system software and then to MS-Windows. His recent projects have included developing a NetBIOS layer over TCP/IP for NetManage and a Windows 95 file system monitor for Xerox/XSoft. Stan and his wife Maggie make Milpitas, CA, their home. In his spare time, he likes to romp with his dogs (Yanni & Munchkin), play a serious game of table tennis, and browse the shelves of nearby bookstores.
