Why, I wouldn't want to reboot the machine everytime I want to run PageStream.

Yes, but it's running under Unix can you say Protected Mode and Virtual
Storage?  People are asking for both of these capabilites and this way we
wouldn't have to wait till the 21st century.  Besides, even if it is 5 Times
slower running an AmigaDos Application under Amiga Unix on a 25Mhz 3000
it will still run faster than it runs on an Amiga 2000.

Well, the Advantage I see is that it will give users some software for the
O/S until the developers can catch up, and if it gives AmigaDos applications
the Ability to run in an Enviroment with REAL Virtual Memory it would be
a very powerful selling point as well.

I do however see a real problem with security with this type of compatiblity
option.  Maybe make it a SU command??
