Subject: Version 0.5 of HFS module

  I am please to announce that version 0.5 of my HFS module is now in
Sunsite's Incoming, soon to appear as:
   ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/hfs_fs_0.5.tgz

  The main user-visible changes are due to Holger Schemel:
	The ability to mount CDROMs (and maybe hard disks)
	Mac -> Latin-1 filename translation

  The biggest changes are not visible to the user and represent a
significant move toward making HFS writable.  You can now change the
modified time of an existing file with 'touch', and do a very limited
'chmod' (can only turn the 'w' bits on and off).  You cannot yet
create or delete file or directories, nor can you write to files, but
I'm working on it
