"Can you make it nt compatible while you're at it?" <snip>
Unfortunately, no.  Zipspeak runs on top of vfat partitions using the
umsdos filesystem.  And Linux only has limited write support for nt
partitions currently.
Also, it will still use the 2.4 kernel as the umsdos filesystem it depends
on has been removed from the kernel as of 2.6.8x I think.  No one has
fixed it in 2.6, so it has been suspended indefinitely.  And yes, zipspeak
is open-source.
Cheers,
Josh
