Hello,

Why do you say in your paper "Why A New Operating System" in section A.9,
f, "well then", xiv that "the protection-handling or proof-checking
"microkernel" is like the executive" and you seem to indicate that this is
a good thing although The TUNES Glossary argues against the idea of using
a microkernel? The TUNES Glossary even goes so far as to suggest that the
kernel should be removed from operating systems and I do not know what
that would leave to do message handling. Anything you can tell me about
this may be helpful. Oh, and there's a broken link to warnings on The
TUNES Glossary web page.
Thanks.
