The FFS allows objects to view a single, unified file name space, and thus execute in a location independent manner.
In the CWVC FFS, files are simply objects which persist.
Library routines to access FFS files are provided for C, C++
The Mentat Programming Language (MPL), C and Fortran; these interfaces are similar to the Unix C standard library file system interface; therefore, utilisation of the CWVC-FFS typically requires little change to existing code.
