That's about the best description I've ever heard of the deep, complex 
inner workings of the IIgs HFS.FST.

Despite my overwhelming hatred of that FST, I'm glad, too.  It is indeed 
good to have access to partitions greater than 32mb, expecially for 
storage hogs like myself.  However more than not, it's useless in it's 
current state, and very slow, to boot.

Heh.  You might get your name written in stone for that one, Nathan.  I'm 
waiting in line for this one...
