   Like I said, good enough to use as the basis for a shipping, commercially-   
   successful product -- one that has the Windows-based competitors choking   
   in its dust, even.

   What do we need? The DCL emulator can run in a separate process from the   
   user program. When the user hits CTRL/C or CTRL/Y, the DCL process issues   
   a SIGSTOP to the user-program process. All handling of supervisor-mode-   
   stuff is emulated by sending requests to the DCL process.   
      
   Do you begin to see how it could work?
