That was me, though it was more of a porting document. I've been very tied up recently; the idea was to use the BSD 2.x FS implementation as an example, as soon as the license was fixed so that the code off of minnie could be publically distributed. The other possibility was the System V code. I will get to both, eventually. Right now, my window of free time is pretty small, though it should open up again soon, as the code I'm working on now seems to be coming under control. I have to literally pry myself off the keyboard to go to bed, since it is all written inside my head already, and my main limitation is I/O. I've averaged about 1000 lines of code a day for the last 5 days. An FS is peanuts, in comparison; I guess I think in pointer math. We need to do something about this whole human-computer interface thing, the quicker the better. ;^). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
