I would welcome the addition *and* would pay a reasonable price
for it. Working with several win based machines with problems is
a drag, but even PM 4.0 in it's current retail version made my life
better when doing installs of FreeBSD on them. Even if I had to
test/move/format in FAT. A published interface would be the best
deal. Someone could add BSD file system support as an add-on package
Am I making sense?
