I found an archive hfsplus-1.0.0.tar.gz on linuxppc.org.

It seems to contain some user programs to mount HFS Plus partitions, but
since I don't have any, I could not test it.

Did anybody else encounter this archive?

Yes, I installed it. It works in my limited testing, but not in a
transparent manner. The command 'hpmount <partition>' makes a single
HFS+ partition available for additional commands such as 'hpls,
'hpcopy', etc. All-in-all, a good start but it will be better when HFS+
support is integreated with the kernel.

But which basically means we are on the way for having HFS+ support.

Just in time, I am going to upgrade to MacOS 9 in a few weeks (maybe).
