Of course, you're right about the tree structure, but I'm not sure that
hurts. Seems to me that the only practical way to handle it is just to
extend what good ole AmiDos does now. If you ask for a floppy that isn't
there, it puts up a requester. An attempt at a remote access for a floppy
that's missing should probably have the same results – at the remote
system. If that isn't acceptable, it should be reasonably simple just to
tell the local guy that the file isn't available.
For heavens' sake (and for all the rest of us), we have to keep the syntax
simple! I only have to recall VMS (and RSX-11) to see the syntactic
results of questionable design decisions early on. (Bet I get lots of
response over that one!
