Argh! I wish this rumor would die out NOW! While it's true that NeXT is looking to add this to 4.0, it most certainly will not *replace* the file system. While many people will argue that NeXT has done some crazy things in the past, rendering almost every piece of software ever written for NeXTStep or UNIX incompatible with NeXTStep 4.0 is not something I would think NeXT would do. The filesystem as we know it won't be tossed out - there will just be a new set of classes based on Object Design technology which will allow applications to access the file system in a different way (most likely). I just can't see NeXT throwing everything away just to add an OO filesystem! - Scott Wisdom wisdom@geom.umn.edu
