Current Status

Klaus Halfmann
I decided to recreate the parts of the original hfsutils and keep theire names but remame "hfs" to "hfsp" reso. "h" to "hp" wherever needed. I started working on libhfsp. Im used to OO-Programming, so I recreated the code with objects in mind. See documenation for libhfsp.

The libhfsp part works for (most) readonly purposes. Im currently working on user-useable tools like hpmount hpcd and hpls.
