   This brings up an interesting point that I was going to query.  It's    
   said that JFS for OS/2 source code is available, and that's certainly    
   the received wisdom that's been repeated over the years.  But yesterday    
   was the first day that I actually went looking for the source code.  (I    
   wanted to check the sffsi structure and see what it did about current    
   file position values.)  I couldn't find it.  It's not on the SourceForge    
   WWW site for JFS, which only has Linux source.  There's only binaries on    
   Hobbes.  LEO doesn't do software any more.  Netlabs doesn't have a JFS    
   project listed.  Where, actually, *is* this source for OS/2 JFS that is    
   supposed to exist?
