I'm glad to hear that some at Digital are against this horrible idea to
"adalize" the Unix filesystem but I would also say I know a number of sites
willing to pay good money for a good FORTRAN for Unix. So, Jon, keep working
on it, just don't try to impose VMS ideas on Unix. Try to do things within
the Unix philosophy. If you are not sure what that is, there seem to be
many people, within DEC, even, like Fred, who will probably help you.
