I belive it was open source, but I can no longer find it :( Not surprising since it was probably archived onto a cd some two years ago. I thought I found it on bootdisk.com but if I did it is no longer their.

If I had the source it would be cool, but I am not enough of a C person to try to get it working on PPC or get it to understand FS+ On Thu, 14 Apr 2005, Joseph Sinclair wrote: > Do you have the source for this modified loader?
