  *Everything* in Unix is a file. Unix *is* a file manager OS. Anything
you can imagine you could do with files and directories, is possible
in unix, if by nothing else, by a little programming.

  I hear it's not even that hard to create your own file system driver
in unix (or at least linux). A friend of mine has written one which can
be used to create and mount compressed read-only file systems (with awesome
compression ratios).
