Structured Storage is the spec and Compound Files is the
OLE implementation. You can implement Structured Strorage
yourself as well. NTFS does a limited implementation for
example - what Igor was referring to is also Structured Storage,
but it is not Compound Files.

You seem to be thinking about NTFS alternative data streams. These have
nothing to do with streams in an OLE compound file (see IStorage,
IStream) that Ajay appears to be talking about.

That sounds right. The word I was looking for was Structured Storage"
