This is the part that users dread.  The disclaimers and such.

This software is covered by the GNU Public License Version 2 or later.
Basically, that copyright allows you, the user, to make as many copies
of this code as you like as long as any distribution to another party
includes source code (or you are willing to archive the source code for
3 years and provide it upon request -- usually easier to just provide it
in the first place).  It also restricts you from making a profit
directly from this code, ie. selling it.  It does not restrict you from
selling media that contains this code as long as only reasonable costs
are charged for the media, ie. you can't charge $100 for a floppy.

As I am interested in keeping up the changes made to this code, I'm
going to add one further condition:  a copy of any product which contains
this code is furnished to me upon final release.  (Only one copy on
whatever computer-readable media is convenient -- not paper!)

I had plans for the following (in roughly this order), but my
development time on Amiga products has been severely curtailed:
    0.	fix bugs :-)  Currently doesn't emulate the "." and ".."
	directory entries and is naive about file ownership and such.
    1.	read/write capability (makes the VFS more useful overall),
	simple block I/O in the write() routines shouldn't be too
	hard, I just haven't examined the allocation strategy yet.
	Memory mapping is another problem altogether.
    2.	more sophisticated decisions on block caching (for efficiency),
    3.	full Unix support, ie. fsck, mkfs, tunefs, and other tools,
    4.	method of access control providing user/group/other granularity
	or better (implemented like BSD quotas? or Access Control Lists?),
    5.	support of HARD and SOFT links,
    7.	support for FFS Directory Caching
    6.	anything else Commodore might add to AmigaDOS...

I'd be very interested in your comments.  Send them to:
