I would also like to see improved signals, specifically:
	1) a signal that would NOT kick you out of a system call,
		but would let you do something like set flags
	2) since the kernel allows one person to be in there once/process
		a system call needs to be added to kick the user out of ANY
		system call they might be in
	3) extra signals for the user ala 4.1

Also, how about some real inter-process communication: ala RSX, VMS etc
SIII fifo's are a good start, but something is needed that does no blocking.

as a series of tools UN*X is great, 
but as an operating system it is still lacking.
