My idea was based on some things we used to do in an operating system called MTS, and if you read all the followups to my post you’ll see that similar things had been done in other operating systems. For instance, these comments from Peter Jeremy:

I seem to remember that Matt replied to my message with a reference to a similar feature in AmigaOS, but I can’t find that message right now.

Matt found this one somewhere, and I’d love to know…
