Responding to the following:

"       Marc, you've been mixing up two concepts for several
messages now. Just because few people use the thing (in this case
networking) doesn't mean it is primitive. In fact, Amiga
networking isn't close to very, very primitive. In fact, Amiga
networking follows all the standards, from the hardware with
Arcnet and Ethernet, to the software with Novell and TCP/IP and
X11. What more you want I haven't figured out."

Does the Amiga's File Managment scheme make access of drives and files 
TRANSPARENT to users AND applications? Does it have built-in byte-range
locking? Is sending messages (IPC) to an app across a network also transparent
to the calling app? I'm asking because I don't know. I'm not making accusations
