[comp.sys.apollo] ms_$mapl and file types

FERGUSON@TMASL.EXXON.COM (04/27/89)

I'm at sr9.7, so this question probably doesn't apply to sr10 users:

    Is there a way create files using ms_$mapl that aren't of type 'nil'?
    I need the functionality of mapping a program pointer into a disk
    file without all the virtual memory swapping, but need to use
    these files in other applications. Someday, I'll modify all of
    my programs to use ms_$mapl, but for now I'd also like to be able
    to use fopen() to read these same files.

    I guess at sr10, everything is 'unstruct', but I have peripherals, and
    therefore can't go to sr10 until probably this fall.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Ferguson
