Thank you Suleiman for the pointer. Alas, from yar's web page: "An Important Note on the Current Status of This Project With very little motivation left to keep this project alive, I'm looking for a volunteer who can take it over. Until I find one, new releases of HFS for FreeBSD will be as likely as the rain in the desert. Sorry." :( number 3 I will give it a try regardless. This is probably more maintainable than the NetBDS Darwin UFS code is portable - hopefully someone will step up to do it. Given that Fat32 code from Apple has been incorporated into base, might yar's work also be a logical candidate? Michael.help
