     Why not Twenex first?  Then we can run (most of) our -10 .EXEs 
under PA1050 (a worthy predecessor to Cygwin).  And NT does have copy-
on-write (presumably because someone finally convinced Cutler that it 
was Cutler's idea in the 1st place). . .

     And who knows what next?  Perhaps Multics and ITS?
