Hey, I'm satisfied with the o'l ProDOS as a boot partition.  Never had a
problem with that. :)  Just want an expanded ProDOS like those MS-DOS
people do.  And, then, it shouldn't be too hard to tweak ProSel to work
fixes on this instead of trying to figure HFS out.

The only reason we're using HFS is because of filename length and partition
size.  If ProDOS '9x becomes true sometime, then it would become the better
option, I think. :) Thanks for letting us know about this project.  I hope
you don't start regretting the emails and posts for info. :)
