My point wasn't how it would be implemented. My point is that there have been some computer rag writers saying things like "NeXT will *replace* the filesystem with an OO-database" (InfoWorld? Where was that from?). That suggests that they will be throwing out the old one. What I'm saying is that, no matter how NeXT does it, they will not drop the current filesystem interface - that's just nuts. > greetins > > Patru -Scott Wisdom wisdom@geom.umn.edu
