> problem. If I remember correctly, font software such as the Adobe Type
Manager did that too.
In Win3.1, due to absense of documented ways of creating a font producer.
It’s not a question of being production software, it’s a question of doing it
properly.
I agree. Hooking disk file IO is surely a bad design - use FS filter instead.
But, if there is no other, lesser dirty ways - hooking is OK IMHO.
OK, let’s says this - hooking is OK if it can be nearly mathematically proven
that the task is not solvable other ways. “Solvable” includes the adequate
performance, for sure.
