Steve, et al,

I'm hearing that if IBM had to do it over, they wouldn't do single level
storeage or would do it differently.  Evidently they're being beat up by
some of the unix constructs when it comes to allocation of storeage...

Does anyone have any further enlightenment here 'cuz I'm no eunochs weinie
when it comes to this.....and I'm curious as heck...
