Linux 2.0 and Zip drives?
by Dave Wreski 26 Aug '98

26 Aug '98

Hi all. Just subscribed. I used Paul's hfs modules a few years ago to read Mac CDROMs. Now I'd like to be able to read Mac Zip drives, but am unable to do so. Is it possible to read Mac-formatted zip drives? Thanks, Dave

Re: Blessed Folder
by Pat Dirks 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

Hi, >I'm using vMac (www.vmac.org). What often happens, is that people can't bless the >System Folder, is there any way to force the a specific folder to be blessed from >outside the MacOS. Well, I'm not sure what problems you might be having blessing a system folder: if you've successfully un-blessed any existing system folder (by moving the Finder into some subfolder, for instance) just opening the intended new system folder should take care of the blessing. I don't know what means you have at your disposal "from outside the MacOS" but the Blessed Folder is recorded by a DirectoryID stored in the first longword of the volume's Finder Info, which is 92 (decimal, 5C hex) bytes into the volume's master directory block (block 2, third 512-byte block on the disk). You could always write the DirectoryID of your favorite folder there... Hope that helps, -Pat Dirks.

Excuse me

How do you do? My name is Michitaka Ohne. I am Japanese. My work is computer programing. I use hfsutils for UNIX on 5inch MO medium. but I am troubled that hfsutils write to this media very very slow. I am checking the hfs-source-program(copyout.c,hfs.c,block.c,etc.), but I cannot understand how to write faster. now, this writing speed is 70Kbyte/sec. My using OS is Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6. If you know somothing, please tell me your wisdom. # Sorry, my English is very poor. --- Michitaka Ohne E-mail: ohne(a)tpk.toppan.co.jp

hfsutils-3.1 released
by Rob Leslie 12 Nov '97

12 Nov '97

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I am pleased to announce the availability of a new line of `hfsutils' development. PLEASE NOTE! Beginning with this release, the version number of the release gives an indication of the expected quality-of-release. Releases are numbered X.Y[.Z] where X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z is a patch-release version. Even-numbered Y numbers represent "stable" releases. Odd-numbered Y numbers represent "development" releases. Development releases may not be as well-tested as the stable ones, although they may contain many more features and improvements. Once a development tree has been tested enough to be believed to be stable, a new stable release will be made to reflect this. Version 3.1 of hfsutils is now available here: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/hfs/ A number of improvements have been made over version 2.0, including: * A new internal block cache; multiple consecutive volume blocks are read and written with fewer system calls, and are cached for efficiency. The result is an enormous performance boost on many platforms. * Three bug fixes: - the alternate MDB was sometimes written to the wrong location on non-partitioned media; - the Extents Overflow file could become corrupted under some circumstances in which a heavily fragmented file is removed; and - it was possible for the volume allocation routine to become caught in an infinite loop. * Character set translation (MacOS Standard Roman <=> ISO8859-1 [Latin-1]) now occurs when copying text files, in addition to end-of-line conversion. * Several libhfs API changes: - hfs_create() now returns an open file reference like hfs_open(); - hfs_format() accepts a list of bad blocks which are to be spared; - hfs_mount() and hfs_format() now require the given partition number to exist, or allow 0 to specify the entire medium; and - new routines hfs_zero(), hfs_mkpart(), hfs_nparts() allow new partition maps and HFS partitions to be created and counted; * Entire package is now configured via a GNU `configure' script. Details for the new, simplified installation procedure can be found in the distributed `README' file. * Many other minor improvements. A number of people have asked recently about the potential for HFS+ support (aka Sequoia or Extended Format) in this package. The answer is yes, I have already begun to implement support for HFS+ volumes. This will become available in a stable release beginning with version 4.0. I have reason to believe it may be technically possible to convert standard HFS volumes into HFS+ volumes without the need to reformat; if so, I plan to include a utility to do this as well. In the meantime, I should note that I currently have very limited access to real HFS+ machines for testing -- and therefore any contributions (in the form of time or hardware :-) are extremely welcome. I would appreciate your feedback on this software. You may send me email directly, or give feedback on the hfsutils web page: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ Cheers, - -- Robert Leslie rob(a)mars.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.4, an Emacs/PGP interface iQCVAwUBNGkJm22QJIfwC8CVAQHelgP/fZPJyn500jMwUODCTtU3uXo+xfNbABaa cqtOaLPtbigVoE00P7USU9xCr56gAetvTbvza0AgYKLot4a6dlBqd8v5gPXtx4l4 fHuTZaJGroBnhVAht9bneHEc0Xudqy/80m7sRpPxHXcpJQVTBuB1vzg7ejCFaVXk 5jjPUVAXlXo= =gwEB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Greetings. I recently discovered a problem with the <hfs-interest(a)ccs.neu.edu> mailing list.

It's also possible that you tried to unsubscribe from this list but you're still on the subscriber list (as evidenced by your receipt of this message). If this is the case for you, I apologize, and you can rectify the situation by sending the following email: To: majordomo(a)ccs.neu.edu unsubscribe hfs-interest If you continue to have any problems, please notify me, the list maintainer, and I will take care of the matter.

Are you listed?
by did-it＠savvy.com 13 Aug '97

13 Aug '97

I just surfed in from your Yahoo listing. It's good to see that you are listed there... As a webmaster or webmarketer, you know that getting traffic from the search engines and directories is absolutely crucial to the success of your (or your client's) site. You have probably used Submit-it or another service to submit your sites. Submit-it is a really great service .... but, as you may be aware, the search engines don't always process the submissions, and they also drop many sites that used to be listed out of the directories to keep the size of their database down, so you never can be sure if you have an active listing, till now. So, we have launched a new service called did-it.com at http://www.did-it.com. The did-it.com Detective will check any URL to see if the URL is listed in the search engines and e-mail you a status report FREE OF CHARGE. If you find you're not listed, you can utilize our Did-it submission service. What is unique about this service is that it will monitor the status of your site on all the popular search engines and automatically resubmit you wherever you're not listed. Today, that's the ONLY way you can be sure you get listed and stay listed, automatically. Come take a look... http://www.did-it.com and use our detective service FREE! BTW, If you like our service you can also become a did-it.com Partner. In exchange for putting a small icon next to a link to us, you will become eligible for did-it.com Partner benefits. Check out the partner program at: http://www.did-it.com/ click on the partner icon. Thanks so much. Regards, The did-it.com team.
