Hmm. Now that I have upgraded to VMS 5.5, I may get around to loading Posix
on friday. 

MITECH's product is currently VMS-only, so it would be amusing to see
how much trouble a posix-only port would be. Performance of fork()
and that sort of thing should NOT BE AN ISSUE, since we already assume
that stuff like SPAWN is fairly slow, and we know the difference between
writing stuff to a file (disk speed) and writing stuff to some kind
of shared memory.
