Vendors cannot provide all the operating-system services that users demand. So, there has been a persistent desire to make operating systems more flexible and customizable. Naturally, object-oriented technology has come to bear on this area. However, the ease of use of many such solutions has been disappointing. Ease of use is a key feature of Frigate, an object-oriented file system. It differs from most file system designs in that it's for ordinary users, not sophisticated operating system gurus. Frigate's modular, extensible framework allows new extensions to be "plugged in" on the fly. It is fully implemented and supports a set of example file system extensions.
