This brings up an interesting point that I was going to query.  It's 
said that JFS for OS/2 source code is available, and that's certainly 
the received wisdom that's been repeated over the years.  But yesterday 
was the first day that I actually went looking for the source code.  (I 
wanted to check the sffsi structure and see what it did about current 
file position values.)  I couldn't find it.  It's not on the SourceForge 
WWW site for JFS, which only has Linux source.  There's only binaries on 
Hobbes.  LEO doesn't do software any more.  Netlabs doesn't have a JFS 
project listed.  Where, actually, *is* this source for OS/2 JFS that is 
supposed to exist?
