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.
