Disk

The disk subprocess contained the main body of the disk system code residing in a user process. It was placed out of the full path of a user subprocess so as to increase the maximum CM field length available to the user subprocess. This was necessary since all subprocesses within a full path must be capable of residing in CM simultaneously.
