My understanding of Mach (not necessarily NeXT OS) was that an external pager
could be written (and was written at CMU) to allow two unrelated tasks to
share memory. If this program would work on the NeXT, you should be able to
grab it, port an interface to look identical to the system 5 code, and presto!.

I'd be interested in it also.
