I gave it a once over, elegant really. This was the code I was referring to, still not a one stop solution in the short term but maybe... meh. |
Hmm... The source code contains comments and printed text messages in some character set that my text editor does not render correctly.
Oh well... "Real" programmers don't need comments, right?
EDIT: In that code, where is the FAT symlink support? I only see what looks to me like NTFS support. Am I missing something here? Other peoples' code is hard to follow (too much white space). 
Another thing that has annoyed me much too often is no Unicode support on FAT partitions. Some of my drives have file names from a bunch of different code pages, and many of them look scrambled depending on what codepage is loaded. Copying such files to NTFS leaves them scrambled (permanently). Mixed codepage filenames on FAT is a big problem (even worse than no symlinks, IMHO).
