Hello,

I try to write something about the concept of external pagers. I have no
access to a machine running MACH. So all I have to learn something about Mach
is a collection of papers.

My problem:
I know the Interface between an external pager and the kernel. 
I think, that it should be possible to write a pager that is able to handle a 
file system (right ?). To do this a pager would need more functions in its 
interface. 

So my question is, is there an additional interface between a pager and a 
user task, or between a pager and a name server? Where can I find a 
description of this interface?


Thank you

   Stefan Focke
