[ .. deleted .. ] Also notice that Domain/IX now obeys filetype restrictions (bletch!)? For example, if you "cpscr > screendump"; "cat screendump" or "od screendump" give you "screendump: Is a directory" (how's that for an accurate error message?). Give me uninterpreted streams of bytes, please! This is no "object-oriented" file system, it's a #$%^&* facist strongly-typed file system. Mike Khaw Mike, have you ever opened an edit pad on an object file and then tried to go to the end of it? I, for one, would rather not repeat that experience. Don't lose that capability, Apollo! ___________________ Darryl C. Conliffe conliffe@caen.engin.umich.edu (313) 721-6069 -------------------
