[Integrit-users] Windows 2K port?

[Rodney L. <rla...@ve...>]

I have done a quick attempt to see if Integrit will work on Win2000
using Cygwin to give me the GNU compiler and POSIX compliance.
Surprisingly the only problem (which is a show stopper) has nothing to
do with Integrit or Cygwin.  The problem is that MS has a "special" file
called "aux" in every directory that does not show up even when you ask
for Hidden and System files.  Just try to create a directory on a Win2K
box named "aux".  When you try you get the message "A file with the name
specified already exists.  Specify a different filename." =20

The place I work would not mind me using Integrit if there can be a port
for Win2K (ugh).  We are primarily a Solaris and Windows Shop.

Would it be too hard to rename the "aux" directory to "auxiliary" or
something else?  If not I'll be glad to go through the code and make the
changes to check it out.  It would interesting to have a GPL integrity
checker that at least partway works on a Win2K environment. (Oh, I can't
believe I am saying this).
