    Do you mean a .VHD file?

    Re: single-file virtual file system

    I think it could be .VHD if it fits to the requirements.

    I know the TrueCrypt virtual disks which can be encrypted (what is not such important, there are other ways too) and mounted as a real disk.
    But I need a SDK to implement it in a tool without having the obligation to publish the source of the own tool. A second important requirement is to use it without installing a driver (in some cases the user have not administrator privileges.

    Thanks.

    At the end what I need, is a data container with high reading and writing performance.
    Zip or something like this seem to not fit to the big amount of data stored in several data container.

    I'm happy for every proposal.

    Regards.

    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.

    Re: single-file virtual file system

    In between I found some usefull libraries:
    - Dokan: http://dokan-dev.net/en/ (advantage: free, disadvantage: administrative rights needed)
    - SolFS: http://www.eldos.com/solfs/ (commercial)

    Does somebody know both libraries?

    Thank you.
