The versions I have are 1.3 (read-only) and 1.5beta (read-write). I can't
find any newer versions (and ftp.uni-regensburg.de is down).
The documentation reads "I believe this [write to bffs] to be safe".
However, if you check the list archive for 2000 and 2001, you'll find
some some people have reported problems.
I don't currently need to write, as the main direction of transfer is
NBSD -> AmigaOS, so I'm using the read-only version of the filesystem.
