There is, of course, the MS-DOS file system. You could take the source to that, and a book explaining the (gory) details of HPFS, and develop one for all of FreeBSD-land. Or you could try to pester a filesystem "expert" into doing it for you. I'm not one, by the way. Try terry@lambert.org. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
