I did not mean to say I wanted Apollo to support /dev/kmem.  I think it
is very bad programming practice to use kmem.  Not only that, I think
Apollo has advanced beyond the point where they can use kmem.  I just
want to KNOW what the differences are, not have ALL of them "fixed".

I do still think talk is "broke" if it will not work with all the users
on the Apollo, though.

Yes, I'm greedy.  Where I can have compatibility without giving up
enhancements, I want it.  In some cases, it may be best to give up the
enhancements to get the compatibility.  I don't mind where IX & Aegis is
a superset of UNIX, but I am at least intereasted in the places IX is
lacking compatibility to UNIX.
