Lines: 22 Expires: Sender: Followup-To: Distribution: If anyone is interested, my summer student has come up with some working code that can read files from a MacOS HFS partition under A/UX: it currently emulates the simple UNIX and stdio calls, namely open, close, read, write, stat, fopen, fread, and fwrite. It works well enough to compile & run a vanilla BSD "ls" program, plus a few copy utilities; in progress is a version of the user-level NFS server posted to the net recently. Snags: we don't have enough documentation about what is actually on the disk surface (Inside Macintosh sort of assumes that you have used the toolbox to read things) and I am still not 100% happy with the way his code is structured. Lacking sufficient information we can't write files, so this is all strictly read-only. However, if anyone is interested I could put a beta version onto the net for you to play with - I would want bug reports... -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmc.ac.uk (gw: cs.ucl.edu) Queen Mary College UUCP: liam@qmc-cs.UUCP LONDON, UK Tel: 01-975 5250
