We have previously had an undelete application of ours built from GNU source code.
This application used large portions of C++ undelete code, from Anton Altaparmakov and Richard Russon. All of this code was derived from public sources back in 2002.
The NTFS code can be found at <[login to view URL]>
We are looking for an *excellent* C++ programmer to find some of the original code and to essentially put together an UNDELETE APPLICATION that is capable of scanning disk drives and undeleting files.
It should support FAT, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS (incl. compressed/encrypted drives preferably). Basically just regular HOME USER drives...
There is FULL GNU *PUBLIC DOMAIN* source code already available that does this. Your job is to simply bring this together and create a very basic user interface. We'll do the rest.
TOO MANY CODERS HAVE FAILED AT THIS TASK. IF YOU ARE CHOSEN, AND DELIVER, YOU WILL RECEIVE A 10+++++ RATING PLUS AN **EXTREMELY** GENEROUS BONUS.
Once again, the requirement: create an undelete program, working with the various Windows file systems, from GNU source where applicable.
This bid MAY require you to research the GNU authors and their code first. PLEASE DO THIS. It will pay off in the long run!
(Note: We'll give you the original app source after acceptance as a good start)
