Apple the corporation may be fair game, but I don't like seeing personal attacks on people who are trying to be helpful... This begins to look like some of those nasty exchanges about X vs NeWs where people start getting vicious. I can certainly sympathize with the frustrations J. Gilmore must be going thru in being on the leading edge of A/UX development; especially when this is the first release of un*x by Apple and things will definitely not be as feature rich, stable and intuitive as they should be. >Last - to be specific, and to see if we have left anything out, what >do Y'ALL want in an A/UX <-> HFS transfer utility? Ok guys Phil asked for it, so why don't you tell him what you want? How about a partition area on disk for this purpose? Or better still why can't it just read and write from a regular mac hard disk/floppy(especially HD) Its not like A/UX development doesn't have access to the sources to do this sort of thing. >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Philip K.
