Yeah; It's not binary software for BSD. That's what I was suggesting: binary commercial software for BSD, locked out with an activation key that you can use as a demo, but have to give a credit card # and recieve a FAX to run as the non-demo version. No additional physical echange of books or disks is needed. As for the HSFS file system, it's relatively trivial to write one once you have a VFS-to-block-I/O FS already written and you have access to the Sun header files to document the format for you.
