It seems that this is a rather unknown subject, or no one wants to tell me about them. So far I haven't gotten anything worthwhile. It seems to me that SOMEONE out there must have used multiplexed files, and can inform me on the various uses of, and theories behind multiplexed files. I also thought for sure that I'd hear from someone at Berkeley, seeing as how in 2BSD they've rewritten many of the multiplexed sources. How about it, eh? Any of you guys at Berkeley have any documentation you can send me, or tell me how to get? Also, in the responses that I have received, there has been made mention of an InterProcess Communication Facility that will be on the next Berkeley distro which will make Multiplexed files obsolete. Any comments on what they'll be able to do, and when they'll become available? I've gotten many requests for any information that I get, so there are many people out there who want more information. I'll forward info when I get it. If I get enough inquiries, I'll make a digest of what I get and put it on the net. So, how about it, folks? I'll be awaiting your comments and experiences in dealing with multiplexed files, and any literature you might know of.
