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......
