I did some testing on NT and it all seems to work ok ... after some quick
changes
to the little test program I used.

I also removed a refernce to an include I was using the modified win32fil.ew
with.

I also added a CloseHandle API call to win32fil.ew to gracefully close the
file handle
after the CreateFile API routine is called.

All in all I think it should be able to do the job.

Check out win32fil.zip at:

For the modified win32fil.ew and a little test program.
