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) Thanks - Mark (davis@cs.unc.edu or decvax!mcnc!davis)
