Hi, 

I am porting parted to OpenSolaris. I made five groups of changes: 

1. I fixed a memory corruption bug in gpt.c. The code was assuming that 
the number of partition entries was a multiple of 4. 

2. I have a fully debugged and tested version of solaris.c that another 
project created for Solaris: http://code.google.com/p/solaris-parted/ 

3. I have several changes to other files that were necessary to get 
parted working on Solaris. Some of these came from Moinak Ghosh. 

4. I have several changes to get parted compiled with Sun Studio C 
version 12. 

5. I implemented check, cp, mkfs and resize for NTFS using the utilities 
that are part of ntfsprogs: http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ 

I would like to contribute these changes back. Are you interested in any 
or all of these changes? 

Thanks, 
Mark
