VM/CMS is the IBM Mainframe system (aka miamiu).  $SYS_USERS[YAD.YADDA] is
VMS (OpenVMS, AXP, etc.).  BIG difference.  VMS could be said to use a
tree-like structure, just with different root systems like MS/PC-DOS uses.
 
Of course, it's rumored that soon DEC's Alpha's will be humming along on
WinNT 5.0 Enterprise Server (or perhaps not until version 6) with the
recent agreements between DEC and MS.  Remember, folks, VMS + 1 = WNT.  ;)
