Kindly check 'em for accuracy please, as I'm not a Mac or HFS expert and may have missed some significant detail. Examples: I cribbed my data from the 'info' manual -- which doesn't mention 'hfs +' that often. (It has a lot about 'hfs' without the ''+'.) The changelog includes 'HFS+', but I didn't know which was correct, so I left 'hfs +' out. The man page says 'parted mkfs FAT' is OK, but the info page says it should be 'parted mkfs fat16' (or fat32). I changed it to agree with the info page. Also, should 'hfs' be capitilized? The changelog has 'HFS', but the info page has both 'hfs' and 'HFS'. Right or wrong, I copied the 'info' usage. HTH...
