*laughing*  Well, we may all know these things shouldn't be done, but 
some of us don't know how to fix them.  Since the sources are available 
on ftp.netbsd.org and puma.macbsd.com anyone with the time and knowledge 
is free to jump in and work on them.

Oh,  I'll take credit for many of the bugs in the Mkfs code, but the 
dialog boxes and interfaces were all pretty much part of the program 
before I mucked with it.  However I was inspired by the original code for 
any of the new stuff I did add.  And as I recall the original author even 
put in a comment that reads "this isn't normally the way I code, but 
...".  I figured he knew what he was talking about. ;-)
