Hello James,

my guess is you are talking about 'streams' in NTFS.
Example:
Create a text file, save it.
Then use 'echo "hidden text" >> file.txt:1' to add the hidden stuff.
I don't remember how to read that stuff out afterwards though.

Interesting point for clarification...

How does ADS in NTFS differ from arbitrary metadata types added to Reiserfs - 
for instance?

It would be interesting to see if this is subject to a similar potential for 
abuse.  I admit that I am only passingly familiar with the topic - but I have 
never seen this discussed before either.

Is anybody cluefull _and_ objective about this?
