That sounds doable. A user space, after all, is just a space. And so is an IFS stream file - just a space. What you do with and IFS stream file you can do exactly the same with a user space - just have to use path naming to get to it.

As an example, try DSPF /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourspace.usrspc sometime - you'll be pleasantly surprised. You can also use EDTF in the same way, although working with hex content is not amenable to humans.

But the pointer technique is so fast, that the C-lib routines would have to be slower.
