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.
