I have written $subj. You can get it at
http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/vyplody/hpfs/index-e.cgi
It's currently only for 2.0.3x kernels, I will make 2.1 version in about
two weex.
It doesn't support hpfs386, if you know anything about it's structures and
can experiment with it on your machine, let me know.
