That's right! But compiling the ppa3.c under 2.2-961014-SNAP
produced too many errors. I couldn't fix all of them, because
some internal data structures have changed, I think.
And I have not enough understanding to correct them.

My goal is to mount an ufs file system produced with Solaris2.5
which is on the ZIP connected at the parallel interface to my PC.

Could anybody help? Thanks
Mathias.

Sorry, my English is too bad.
