Snapshot is available at http://www.namesys.com/snapshots/:

reiser4 proper:
http://www.namesys.com/snapshots/reiser4-2002.10.24.tar.gz

necessary changes to the core kernel, plus some UML patches, plus some
patches for debugging:
http://www.namesys.com/snapshots/reiser4-core-2002.10.24.diff

utils:
http://www.namesys.com/snapshots/reiser4progs-2002.10.24.tar.gz

I shall produce newer snapshot to-morrow.

It does work, but code is not production quality yet. Do *NOT* put
anything close to critical data on it.
