You say that ':' was chosen as another way of separating paths because some
OSs use / as part of legal filenames.  How do the GS/OS people expect to
handle OSs that use BOTH in legal filenames?

Oh, BTW, since Cary sends mail from there, is the FTP connection to
apple.com (apple.apple.com) down, is the machine down, or is there some
break in the network between andrew.cmu.edu and there?

Thanks!
