Yes, there is. We are using the macdump package from icarus.riacs.edu. It does the job quite well and is PD. 

But, there is a problem in the archive at FTP site and i posted one week ago a message describing the problem. I had no response until today so i re-post it in the following lines.

Please Help !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are already running UAB+AUFS with no problems.

Last week i odwnloaded macdump.tar.Z from icarus.riacs.edu. On the macdump
side, every thing goes fine, but the macrestore program is version 2.0beta and
is not compatible with the macrestore deamon for the unix box in the archive.
When i try to restore a file, the macrestore deamon start sending the messsage
"Bad-Opcode".

The dates of the files in the archive are May 5 89 for restore.bin Oct 25 88
for macrestore.c

I have take a look in program and run it under dbx, the restore program on
the mac realy send an opcode untreated by the macrestore deamon.

Someone gave me a 1.0 release of the restore program for the mac and then
every thing works fine except that with this release restoring a folder in
impossible.

Questions :

- Are people from riacs.edu advertise of this problem ?

- Where else can i get and up to date version of the macdump package ?

Thanks for help.
