Yeah! Quit picking on Jackie! Apple the corporation may be fair game, but I
don't like seeing personal attacks on people who are trying to be helpful...
This begins to look like some of those nasty exchanges about X vs NeWs where
people start getting vicious.  I can certainly sympathize with the 
frustrations J. Gilmore must be going thru in being on the leading edge of
A/UX development; especially when this is the first release of un*x by Apple
and things will definitely not be as feature rich, stable and intuitive as
they should be.

Ok guys Phil asked for it, so why don't you tell him what you want?

How about a partition area on disk for this purpose? Or better still why can't
it just read and write from a regular mac hard disk/floppy(especially HD) Its
not like A/UX development doesn't have access to the sources to do this sort
of thing.
