  comment = {Also TR 334. Mostly covered by other papers, but includes good
  introduction, discussion of reliability and maintenance issues, and
  implementation. Short mention of prefetching implied that simple OBL was
  counter-productive, but later tool-specific buffering with read-ahead was
  often important. The three interfaces to the PIFS server are interesting. A
  fourth compromise might help make tools easier to write.}
