Wirt still wishes:

Nothing wrong with wishing......  but (just for one example):
What would we do about IMAGE JUMBO and B-Tree files
that are now in HFS space ??...     :-)

Having gone this far down the "integrate POSIX in MPE" road,
I don't see any realistic possibility of going back and revisiting
the decision;  it was a one-way diode.  Whether HP should
have or could have or might have taken the other fork may be
an interesting academic question, but practically speaking
surely it is moot ??...    for better or for worse......
