yes, what's currently missing is the JFT layer... one can consider that 
the Win32HandleToDosHandle (and its friends) to handle the SFT, and 
allow to bridge between the DOS world and the Win32 world.

but, you'll have to patch every possible file usage in winedos so that 
you don't mixup sft indexes and jft indexes...

you mean regarding the char / block caps for example? not sure we need 
to store that in the SFT, we can get it back from the win32 handle anyway.

A+
