A/UX doesn't currently support mounting macintosh files systems. It wouldn't be that diffucult to do, but it isn't in A/UX yet. The two things of a simular nature that you can do are: 1 - mfs program to read mfs (i.e. flat file system) floppies. 2 - a package from starnine which permits you to transfer files between A/UX and MacOS partissions. The starnine product is very cool. The user interface looks somewhat like the font/Da mover. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A.
