Also, AFAIK, it was written in a mesh of different languages too, including POWER architecture assembly. The OS/2 version was the first clean implementation to plug into OS/2's IFS driver model - and being written in C, it is much more 'portable'. (AFAIK, it was supposed to be able to be recompiled for OS/2 for CHRP PowerPC) All said, I would be interested in a JFS port for FreeBSD .... -- ANTONY T CURTIS Tel: +44 (1635) 36222 Abacus Polar Holdings Ltd Fax: +44 (1635) 38670 > unix soit qui mal y pense To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
