Well, I like what I've seen of it. (I'm allowed to say that, aren't I? :-)
Both macnfs and Cayman's Gatorbox do a creditable job of coping with
the arcane and haphazard Mac file system. 

Can anyone who's worked extensively with A/UX (did I get the slash in
the right place?) comment on how well Apple handled the problems of viewing
the Mac FS from Unix and vice versa?
