Hi,
It's probably pretty simple for testing purposes to remove the pointers to the "wrapped" HFS+ volume; the resulting disk image should then be just another HFS disk and you can use all the usual disk verification tools directly on it to see if there are any inconsistencies found. If all is well and you can double-click your "ReadMe" and see what you expect you can be reasonably confident that a user on a non-HFS+-savvy system would see exactly that, too.
Good luck, -Pat Dirks.

Hello Listers, Thanks to the friendly feedback I got I managed to get started off with including an HFS-Wrapper in my code. It seems to work ok now but I'm not too sure... I only have access to an iMac with MacOS 9 - my HFS+ Volume gets displayed but how do I get to verify if the ReadMe I'm creating in the Wrapper is ok ? The volume is recognized as an HFS+ Volume (since the embedded volume seems to be getting mounted directly) and I can do a GetInfo on it. Do I necessarily need an older Mac which doesn't support HFS+ to get to see the ReadMe ? I have one more question - Is it possible to have a Wrapper for HFS-volumes as well - embedding an HFS-volume within another HFS-Volume ? I guess this wouldn't have any benefits as such but theoretically it should be possible, right ? -Nandini
The really bad thing about software is debugging it is a real nightmare when you weed one bug out then ten new ones will sprout 'til you get as mad as a march hare
