::::::I've left the temp and rename workaround in, so that this can be implemented on systems that have no other mechanisms. A delete of the original file prior to rename is permissible. I have added that to the task description. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 20:56, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
:::Is NT still POSIX compliant? I thought that functionality was stripped out and shipped as Windows Services for UNIX, which operates under CSRSS as a different subsystem with bizarre interaction limitations. I could be wrong, of course. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 20:46, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
::::NT4 and 2K were POSIX level 1 compliant. I think starting from XP some versions of Windows have POSIX layer by default, some don't. I'm not sure if SfU is the same as the POSIX subsystem: I thought SfU is a much more complete compatibility package. At least that's what I heard, but I haven't seriously used Windows for years. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 21:04, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
