PFS    9.5.4    Professional filing system for the Amiga

The standard AmigaDos filesystem (OFS) is very slow.  Commodore has
tried to improve the performance of their filesystem a number of
times.  Workbench 2.0 added the fast filing system (FFS), and now,
with Workbench 3.0, we have the fast filing system with directory
caching (FFS-DC).  This makes directoryscan faster but writing to
disk and directory-operations like delete and rename are slower than
ever.  This made me decide to write a filesystem that does better.

High performance
- write: 3-5 times faster
- read: 50% faster
- directoryscan: 10-20 times FFS, 3 times FFS-DC 
- delete/rename/protect etc: 10-20 times faster

Other features
- full AmigaDos compatibility
- upto 10% more data on a disk
- better faulttolerance
- parallel access almost without performance loss
- disks NEVER get invalidated

  Both double density and high density floppy disks are supported.
This version of the filesystem also supports small harddisk
partitions.  Partitions up to 31MB are supported.  A version for
larger partitions is under development and will be available to
registered users only.
