I can't see it on Fresh Meats' site, so it must have been Sorce Forge, but their site is down for maintenance. As soon as it's up, do a search, or read todays' or yesterdays' onsite newsletter. The name of the app was ntfs something, so ntfs should give it to you. It stated something about a utility that could read ntfs, or work an ntfs structure from within Linux, and it was an updated release with considerably greater functionality than previously. Unfortunately, I didn't take much notice, as I don't intend to do any work in the future with this format, but it sounds as though it might be exactly what you may need.
