Indeed, it does. That's why I included the name "Apple" four times (at least) in the long description of the package. I completely agree with you here. > I don't know whether there is an official (i.e., from Apple) public > full specification for HFS+, but I suspect it is not the case. Actually, as people have already pointed out, there is, actually, a specification of HFS+ and I *think* that it was based on them that Roman Zippel (I hope that I spelt his name correctly) wrote the hfsplus module to the Linux kernel. > Which means that Apple developers are obviously in a better position > than most other people to write tools dealing with HFS+. Indeed, they have employees that are paid for the job and they obviously want to provide the best HFS+ support as possible, since it's their primary filesystem.
