	I believe that the ESIX FFS will be much faster than SCO UNIX FFS
and hopefully ISC FFS. The FFS is the true FFS from the BSD 4.2/4.3 world
(minus symbolic links). It will support the old System V directory layout
(14 characters per filename for applications that don't use ndir.h) or the
BSD directory layout (up to 255 characters per filename).
Hey, Jeff .. care to give us a update on this thing?
