I agree, HFS+ is more complex than RDOS ;-) There are two missing FSTs
in GS/OS:
- HFS+
A really complex one which I believe is impossible to write from
scratch.

- FTP:
Make it work like on Mac OS/X (with GS/OS equivalent with Marinetti)
- let the user enter the server address (FinderExtension),
- create a device (just like MountIt or EasyMount),
- any calls to the device will be translated by the FTP FST to its
device driver or directly sent through Marinetti
You will have to deal with all the different FTP servers ;-)
