  10. Are you happy with the $QIO system service?  If you were building a new O/S
  11. from scratch, would you make the "basic I/O call" that's available for 
  12. non-privileged programs look like $QIO, or like something else?  If the latter,
  13. what?  If you could specify a new I/O interface to supplement $QIO in VMS, what
  14. would it look like?
