I haven't the foggiest idea what you can do on Windows 8.0; I thought
they called it Windows XP or Windows 2000.

I'm making the Unix-flavoured assumptions that it's cheap and easy to
create an extra directory and to spawn an extra process for a
postmaster in a user's own process space.

That may vary somewhat for the more VMS-like model of Windows NT...
