- Yes and no. If it provides every piece of functionality that a Mac
- program might need, yes, we would use it. Most likely, though it
- would only provide some of what we need, in which case we'd need to
- augment it. We wouldn't mind contributing our HFS code to such an
- effort. We've already discussed doing that on the Linux side of
- things.

-
- I don't know if there are yet similar stuff for Win32, but again, we'd
- be willing to contribute our code. Actually, our hope with the Linux
- work is to make one set of code that can be compiled a number of
- different ways so that the same core code would be used for an OS/2
- IFS ans a Win32 IFS as for a Linux kernel module and a library for end
- users.
