There is a bunch of useful patches to the CAP 5.0 software, which I've posted
to comp.sources.unix and comp.sys.next, and these should be available from
info-mac.stanford.edu via anonymous ftp.  Here is what the included README
says:

1) In AUFS, #ifdef SIZESERVER lines that allow 4.3BSD systems to show volume
info (previously distributed as sizeserver.shar; needs additional code to
use this).

2) In AUFS, #ifdef NOCASEMATCH lines that fixes the case sensitivity of UNIX
(Mac filesystems are case-insensitive).  There is some performance degradation,
especially when the filename to search for has modified case, like the way
HyperCard 1.2.1 changes the case of letters in a stack name.

3) CAP now compilies under GCC.  Various changes were made to fix incompatibil-
ities with the preprocessors, as well as to silence various warning messages.
The -DGNUCC flags needs to be given to the compiler.

4) On NeXT machines (with GCC), Configure has been modified so that "next" can
be given as an OS type.  It automatically adds -DGNUCC to the C compilier
flags.  (I don't know how to detect a NeXT machine in the Configure script,
especially since the entire filesystem may change between 0.8 and 0.9.)

5) Various minor code enhancements, with no change in functionality.
