There are many problems with EFS on normal macs. I find it hard to believe that EFS would even begin to run on the plus, or even with HFS, because it assumes the MFS file system. That is, it doesn't know to make the FCB's larger if HFS is active. The result is that the first FCB would be too small, the second would overwrite the tail of the first, etc. Since the first file is the system, the second is the Finder, etc., there is no way it could work as is. We at rice are rewriting EFS to work with HFS (still mounting MFS volumes) and to work better in general. We shall keep the net posted, but it should be ready in about another month, fer sure. scott
