If anyone has the resources (I don't at the moment) I would also be interested in knowing whether gopher 3.0.2 compiles on OS X without changes if the drive format is UFS.

I read some Apple knowledge base articles about UFS, and while they don't address the performance problems I mentioned earlier today, they *did* say that while they recommend I use HFS+ for "the Macintosh experience", if I was planning on doing any Unix development, that I should probably opt to format my drive as UFS. Interesting. This isn't an option with my home setup at this time, but when I get my computer upgraded here at work (and you can bet I'll be using OS X when that happens), perhaps I'll explore that...

thanks again to those who have contributed to this porting work.
