Come on.  Be serious.  Are you telling me that every student at
berkeley who has a login knows everthing there is to know about System
V streams?  After all, your organization (berkeley) does design
operating systems that kind of do the same thing.  By the way, how much
do you know about System V streams?  Or disk drivers for Miniscribe disks?

I think that it is great that employees of a growing workstation computer
system company are interested enough in their work that they have their
own machines and want to improve them.  I would even feel good if people at
IBM where asking these questions.  Maybe then PC DOS 5.0 would be a better
product.

The only dumb question is the one that is not asked.

(You may consider this a flame)
