Still present in the new mpeg.extractor (MediaKit/Beta1) ?
I'm also using Carlos Hasan's mpeg-decoder, but that still uses Be's extractor
I suppose.

hmm... no, I just tested with a file "892297996.pdf", created in BeOS on a
FAT32-disk, could not be deleted from within Windows 2000/SP2. (error "has been
altered externally").

I'm talking about porting the new OBFS-driver to WinNT...
IIRC custom filesystems can also have attributes in NT, which would be cool in
some way (NT-apps won't use them, but they'd be visible and editable if
writing-support was also ported).
