Really! I looked at some docs for the path names on that system, and didn't come away so much as convinced DEC/Compaq knew what they looked like. Or where they stopped. Or started. I think a fully general path algebra will be really hard to do, but it's something I've thought about a little. Don't know when I'll have time to dig back into it.
