+Subject: DatabaseFS VFS module
+
+Hello,
+
+I have created a VFS module which implements a fairly complete read-only
+filesystem.  It presents information from a database as a filesystem in
+a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used
+(originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as
+"Artists," "Song Keywords," etc... I have since applied it to a student
+roster database very easily).  The directory structure is stored in the
+database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database
+structure beyond the table it requires to run.  You can find it at:
+
+http://www.css.tayloru.edu/~elorimer/databasefs/index.php
+
+
+Any feedback would be appreciated: comments, suggestions, patches,
+etc...  If nothing else, hopefully it might prove useful for someone
+else who wishes to create a virtual filesystem.
+
+Thanks for the great product and keep up the good work.
+
+
