And you can do exactly the same with PRG or SEQ (and there exist program that 
do). I wouldnt say "many are not written by the DOS" either - do you have 
another example than GEOS? :) What GEOS does isnt really "USR files" either, 
its just tagging a directory entry with USR - to the DOS those arent even 
valid files.
