Hmm, good reasons to not have the feature. Anyway, I certainly won't
be working on this until I have a viable MADO running, so I'll think a
bit more. Given the above, something like CORBA might be better, as
it's inherently messaging...

regarded the entire disk as memory. How does it handle disks across a
network?
