Perhaps you are under a misconception.  Norton Utilities for System V 
doesn't JUST use direct I/O, it speaks curses/terminfo too.  We just do the 
best with the equipment available.  If you are on a terminal things work
just fine, if you are on the console, things work even finer.  It's 
plenty open as far as I am concerned.
