I had a yaffs image containing some stuff I changed but forgot to
check back into svn, then deleted the original rootfs tree. This was
annoying. Your tool thus saved me a lot of faffing either doing the
work again or trying to extract it from a real machine. It was tivial
to download, build and use and it 'just worked' (TM).

Excellent. thank you.

I suggest this is checked into the yaffs codebase so people are likely
to have it to hand when they need it, alongside mkyaffsimage. I can do
that if no-one objects. Is that OK with you Kai? 

Wookey
