I'm sorry if this is a dumb or naive question, but isn't there a difference
between making NT look like Unix by talking to the win32 API and making NT look
like Unix by talking to the POSIX API.

I apologize if I've been mislead about the NT kernal by MicroSoft Propaganda,
but if this POSIX API works right shouldn't it be relatively easy to talk to
it.
I understood that one of the points of NT was the multiple API structures...
