FUSE is doing it the hard way.  It makes an elegant user interface but it's harder than necessary.  A host application that can process the guest OS layout is sufficient.  (I've done both; for example I wrote a RSTS file system processor which is pretty straightforward.  I started converting it to a FUSE module but got somewhat discouraged when I was having trouble finding a working FUSE for current Mac OS.  Or a working PyFuse, I don't remember which.  (I like to do these jobs in Python if possible, rather than C.)
