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.
