Ubuntu 10.04-4 LTS is what I'm running here.

All this talk about cocofuse made me curious, so I went looking for some 
docs.  There doesn't seem to be any unless its in the pdf.  Which it is 
not.

I see it is in the toolshed tree, but the executable wasn't built to be 
available in the $PATH addition of /opt/toolshed/bin, its in 
/opt/toolshed/build/unix, so isn't available for use without either 
softlinking buils/unix into the toolshed/bin path, or adding yet another 
element to the $PATH environment variable.

Reading the .c src seems to indicate its some sort of a mini-dos swiss army 
knife.

Looking in toolshed/build/unix/cocofuse, there are only cvs entries there, 
it is not mentioned in the rules.mak, nor in the makefile, so while the 
cocofuse.c file is there, there is not an executable as it has never been 
built.

So, what is it, how do I build it, and what can it do?

Cheers, Gene
